[New-bugs-announce] [issue35978] test_venv fails in Travis with GCC

[Karthikeyan Singaravelan]

New submission from Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.karthi at gmail.com>:

I noticed this while checking issue35961. test_venv is always failing on GCC which is marked as optional in Travis.

Log : https://travis-ci.org/python/cpython/jobs/492123436#L1909

0:39:35 load avg: 1.00 [390/416] test_venv
test test_venv failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):

    out, err = check_output([envpy, '-c',
  File "/home/travis/build/python/cpython/Lib/test/test_venv.py", line 37, in check_output

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['/tmp/tmpg8ubeyfn/bin/python', '-c', 'from multiprocessing import Pool; print(Pool(1).apply_async("Python".lower).get(3))']' died with <Signals.SIGABRT: 6>.

Also GCC test have been timing out for at least past 4 months : https://python.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/116742-core.2Fhelp/topic/GCC.20build.20in.20Travis.20always.20times.20out
