> Anyway, I would like to leave the decision to the core developers.

You mean the core developers other than Stefan? ;-)

I don't have any objection to a patch for this problem, provided that that patch is specifically targeted at FreeBSD 4, and clearly doesn't change behaviour on any other platform.

On one hand I agree that FreeBSD 4 isn't a high priority platform;  on the other, it's not *that* obscure, and failure to build the Python core (rather than the extension modules) is quite a big deal.  It's also a regression from 2.6, IIUC.  And it should be easy to fix, with a single block of code in pyport.h.
