Oh. So it's this error:

	ImportError: This platform lacks a functioning sem_open
	implementation, therefore, the required synchronization
	primitives needed will not function, see issue 3770.

But that one's very old. The error seems to reapear from time to time.
I'm not building with the base gcc, but I do use the base libc which
does define sem_open (but according to manpage only for standard POSIX
2001, not 2008, which might be a difference).

I'll report once I tried this today.


Alrighty then,

Thomas
