So sorry that i'm stressing this, hopefully it's the final message.
Apples iterative kernel-update strategy resulted in these versions:
14:02 ~/tmp $ /usr/sbin/sysctl kern.version
kern.version: Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun 7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386
14:02 ~/tmp $ gcc -o zt osxversion.c -framework CoreServices
14:03 ~/tmp $ ./zt
OS X version: 10.6.8
apple_osx_needs_fullsync: -1
I.e. the new patch uses >10.7.0 or >=10.6.8 to avoid that
FULLFSYNC disaster (even slower than the Macrohard memory
allocator during "Wintel" partnership!), and we end up as:
14:03 ~/src/cpython $ ./python.exe -E -Wd -m test -r -w -uall test_mmap
Using random seed 8466468
[1/1] test_mmap
1 test OK.
P.S.: i still have no idea how to do '-framework CoreServices'
regulary. Like i've said in #11046 i never used GNU Autoconf/M4,
sorry. You know. Maybe the version check should be moved
somewhere else and simply be exported, even replacing the stuff
from platform.py? I don't know. Bye.
