Well, looking at the sources of 2.2a2 and 2.2b4, it doesn't seem so for me.
After I added the following lines mentioned in file 

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=5470&atid=105470&file_id=8323&aid=440522

[which I found on the page above] in Modules/posixmodule.c, it compiles 
fine:

[line 34 in 2.2a4]
#ifdef HAVE_GETPRIORITY
#ifndef PRIO_PROCESS
#include <sys/resource.h>
#endif /* !PRIO_PROCESS */
#endif /* HAVE_GETPRIORITY */
[line 40 in 2.2a4]

Maybe I should have said that this was FYI only. It *does* work after 
adding the above lines, regardless which version.

Well, yes and no. I can't submit this patch to sf, because I got it from 
there. :)

Best regards,
