Bill Nottingham added the comment:
If it's not possible to implement at all, why does it work without the
test? What specific cases do you think will fail?
Heck, if you don't think it's functional on 90% of hardware sold these
days, just remove it, it makes python look less sill
Bill Nottingham added the comment:
sizeof(long) != sizeof(void *) isn't the epic fail here. It's the
complaint about sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).

Bill Nottingham added the comment:
Moreover, eliding the check and subsequent error from the code yields a
module that appears to work in (very) brief testing on x86_64.

New submission from Bill Nottingham:
SystemError: module dl requires sizeof(int) == sizeof(long) == sizeof(char*)
That's just unspeakably lame. I realize this is longstanding, and it's
even documented, but just... FAIL.
