My Kernel config is just the GENERIC one I built using my FreeBSD=20
cross-compiler environment.  I haven't tried building the normal python p=

like you did yet.  The one that crashed for me was=20
/usr/pkgsrc/lang/python22-pth  (GNU Portable Thread library version). I k=

python uses threads, and that threaded programs seem to be the ones causi=

problems when building packages, so I hoped the pth version would go thro=

for me.

I can compile a kernel for you from my own environment but I'm not sure i=
