Hello,

Currently python setup.py restricts FreeBSD host platform by version, e.g. freebsd7, freebsd8.

It is not only out-of-date (we already are on freebsd11) but also doesn't seem to have a good reason to do so.

Proposed patches replaces it with startswith('freebsd').

Thanks

The comment says that semaphores are broken up to FreeBSD-8, so
linking with -lrt is disabled. This looks correct to me and our
FreeBSD 9 and 10 buildbots work.

If you have a specific problem, please re-open the issue.

Semaphores broken or not (it seems to work just fine in freebsd9) python is still usable overall.

I see no reason to arbitrarily chose what freebsd platform to build.

I looked at patch set 1, which actually *reduced* functionality for FreeBSD >= 9.

Now there is a second patch set, so I'm re-opening.

Ah, I see, I made a misinterpretation of setup.py. Sorry about that.

So please ignore the setup.py changes in the patch ;)
