Compiling python-2.7 on my x64-macos box fails with: Modules/_ctypes/malloc_closure.c: In function 'more_core': Modules/_ctypes/malloc_closure.c:92: error: too few arguments to function 'mmap' Modules/_ctypes/malloc_closure.c:93: error: expected ';' before ')' token Modules/_ctypes/malloc_closure.c:93: error: expected statement before ')' token Looking at the patch "python-2.7-irix" it reveals that you must've adjusted the patch wrongly: item = (ITEM *)mmap(NULL, count * sizeof(ITEM), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC, - MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, - -1, + flags, + devzero); 0); Note the double closing bracket for the mmap arguments, which isn't there when coompared to the 2.6.4 patch: item = (ITEM *)mmap(NULL, count * sizeof(ITEM), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC, - MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, - -1, + flags, + devzero, 0); So basically just sync those two patches at this spot. This reminds me of bug #328089. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge python 2. 3.

hmmm, I'm sure I compiled it this way (got it installed), but anyway, fixed now.
