Lib/_osx_support.py contains the following line:

    flags = re.sub(r'-arch\s+\w+\s', ' ', flags, re.ASCII)

But the 4th re.sub() argument is the maximum number of substitutions, so this is equivalent to:

    flags = re.sub(r'-arch\s+\w+\s', ' ', flags, count=256)

It was probably meant to be:

    flags = re.sub(r'-arch\s+\w+\s', ' ', flags, flags=re.ASCII)


This bug was found using pydiatra:

I created the issue #30072: "re functions: convert count and flags parameters to keyword-only?".

Resolved in GitHub https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/1134.

In 2.7, the flag re.ASCII is not passed due to 2.7's default ASCII strings.

Backporting to 3.5 and 3.6.

https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/1135 and https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/1137 backport it to 3.5 and 3.6, respectively.
