Summary: build fails on Tru64 Unix (osf1V5)

Initial Comment:
the build on an alpha (Tru64 Unix) machine fails when

compiling Modules/posixModule.c; it complains about

stat and lstat, which HP has defined as _F64_stat and

_F64_lstat. HP claims that they automatically convert

them to stat and lstat for portability but my guess is

that the Python #define STAT code overrides this and so

it fails. Changing it to expliciltly reference

_F64_stat and _F64_lstat solves the problem. In the

same module, plock() and unsetenv() are referenced but

neither are found in the include files on the box.

Setting the HAVE_PLOCk and HAVE_UNSETENV macros

properly solves this problem (why didn't configure

detect this?)



Finally, once everything is done, distutils does not

include -lpthread in the list of libraries needed for link.



If you have any questions about these issues, let me know.

See http://python.org/sf/524600

You are probably using gcc, and this is a compiler bug.

Closing it as third-party. I believe a newer gcc version

should fix this; if not, you should use the system compiler.
