> We're running into this building python 3.4.3 on EL6 ppc64.  The os kernel is 4.7.2-201.fc24.ppc64, but the EL6 chroot kernel-headers are 2.6.32-642.4.2.el6.  Any progress here?

Sorry, but if I'm unable to reproduce the issue, I cannot make progress on analyzing the bug. I would need an remote access (SSH) to a computer where the bug can be reproduced.

I also would like to know if the issue can be reproduced in C.

faulthandler depends a lot how signals and threads are implemented. I'm not completely suprised to see bugs on some specific platforms.
