There is a bug in the function check_library_list. Assuming there are
some libraries in the distribution instance, the function checks that
lib[0] is a string, but the test checks exactly the contrary (line 137
of build_clib.py).

This is pretty serious, as any code using libraries will fail to build
on python3. The fix is trivial, though. I think this should be fixed for
python 3.1

Good catch !

Obviously this was introduced when the Python 2 version was
refactored for Python 3

(in python 2 its "if type(lib[0]) is not StringType")

I shall fix this today or tonite (I need to add test coverage
for this command)

fixed in r72379 

Thanks David !

Notice that this bug exists in Python 3.0 too unfortunately.

So I have applied the fix in the 3.0 release branch as well (r72380)
