Well, those are just patches for 1.4. I have not been able to get
Python 1.5.x (or 1.4, for what it's worth) to compile on OS390V2R5
(also tried on R7). That is, it compiles nicely, but I got the
weirdest problems linking it. It's been a while since I played around
with it, but binaries (or proper patches for 1.5) would sure be nice.
Nice to see other than me has been trying to get it to work, though. :)
