Python handles ioctl(2) strangely and causes warnings on 64-bit platforms. The analysis was originally posted here: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?201006231708.40032.jkim Now I made more complete patch for all Python ports and it is available from here: http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/python-fcntlmodule.diff Note I also fixed a Linuxism of fcntl(2) for python31. They use 'long' for the optional third argument of fcntl() unlike POSIX and *BSD. It's okay for little-endian or 32-bit platforms but I guess it is bad for big-endian LP64 machines. While I was here, I updated test cases of ioctl() for all Python ports. I also added FreeBSD -CURRENT for python31 but I didn't bother test cases of older releases. :-) Please review the patch. Thanks, Jung-uk Kim
