[issue38848] compileall fails when the platform lacks a functional sem_open()

Changing the title to "compileall fails when the platform lacks a functional  sem_open()" as the problem lies in the compileall module itself.
Nosying Antoine as the author of issue #36786.


compileall fails on android API 24:

generic_x86_64:/data/local/tmp/python $ python -m compileall --workers=2 .
Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
