Cannot build _multiprocessing, math, mmap and readline of Python 2.6 on FreeBSD 4.11 w/ gcc 2.95.4

Hi Marc-Andre,

Thanks for the suggestion.
I opened a ticket for this issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue4204

Now I understand the state of the multiprocessing module,
but it's too bad to see math, mmap and readline modules, that worked
fine before,
cannot be built anymore.

As for FreeBSD4, yeah it's really dated and I understand newer FreeBSD should
make my life easier, but I would rather want Python continue to
support old system like this
as long as it's not getting very hard to maintain the clean code base.

Thanks,
