Python-3.0b1 build fails on Linux : _gestalt

Thu Jun 19 06:07:54 EDT 2008

Hi,

trying to build Python-3.0b1 on my Gentoo Linux box fails with

Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
_gestalt

Looking at setup.py it seems that module '_gestalt'
is only needed on Darwin but my build on Linux fails
nevertheless.

Thanks for any hints,
