python-2.7.9-r1 build.log

Python-2.7 fails to build under musl-libc 1.1.6 due to a duplicate include in Modules/python.c, as follows:

#ifdef __linux__
#include <linux/prctl.h>
#include <sys/prctl.h>
#ifndef PR_SET_NAME
#define PR_SET_NAME 15
#endif
#endif

This causes a compilation error since musl exports structs in sys/prctl.h which conflict with the ones from the linux headers.

Steps to Reproduce:

Set up a system using the musl stage3 according to the wiki, then attempt to rebuild python-2.7

Expected result:
Python-2.7 would build and be installed with no errors

Actual result:
Build fails (log attached)

Reproducible:
Always

Comment 2 Felix Janda 2015-02-07 11:58:20 UTC
The offending code is from 61_all_process_data.patch in python-gentoo-patches-2.7.9-0. I would suggest just removing the <linux/prctl.h> include since prctl() is not declared there.

The exact same issue exists in python 3.3.5.
Comment 5 Travis Tilley 2015-03-25 16:07:45 UTC
If i add this patch to EPATCH_EXCLUDE then python 3.3.5 compiles with musl again. Any chance we can have this fix applied to 3.3.5?
