[New-bugs-announce] [issue32638] distutils test errors with AIX and xlc

[Michael Felt]

New submission from Michael Felt <michael at felt.demon.nl>:

While working in issue11191 I found a fix for Python3-3.6 and later for the following tests, and later - but not for Python3-3.5

I suppose "we" could ignore the error on Python3-3.5 (as I then have a quick - simple - fix for Python3-3.6 and later.

Suggestions, rather - how important are the tests on Python3-3.5?
