When building on 10.6 with a deployment target of 10.3 or 10.4,
various build errors occur, like:
    warning: 'struct winsize' declared inside parameter list
    error: 'struct rusage' has no member named 'ru_maxrss'

The problem is a test in configure.in that isn't prepared to handle
a two-digit Darwin kernel version: OS X 10.6 is Darwin 10.  The
patches backport the fix from trunk(2.7) to 2.6, 3.1, and py3k(3.2).
(As usual, autoconf needs to be run after applying to update configure.)

Barry and Benjamin: IMHO this should be fixed before 2.6.5 and 3.1.2 are released, the patch is safe and works (and is already in the trunk).

Ok. Would you mind merging it?

Ned, thanks for the fix.  Ronald, please apply it to release26-maint for 2.6.5 rc 2.

Committed in r78781 (2.6), r78782 (3.2) and r78783 (3.1)

It looks like the patches were not applied correctly.

2.6 should be fixed in r78805.  I won't have time to merge the fix into the other branches until at best later tonight.

It sounds like this is fixed for 2.6.5 now.  I'm bumping the priority down and removing 2.6 from the Versions.

Fix verified for 2.6.
It should still be considered a release blocker for 3.1.2.

3.2 and 3.1 should now also be fixed (in r78808 and r78809)

Please test.

Fix verified for 3.1 and py3k(3.2).
