lang/python27/files/patch-Lib__distutils__unixccompiler.py should be kept.
http://bugs.python.org/issue20767 has not been closed yet and the 2.7.7 source
code does not incorporate the change nor does the NEWS file indicate  
anything related
to the issue.

I'm also unsure about the fcntl.ioctl() patch change. The 2.7.6 patch used an
unsigned long on purpose, since we are not limited to 32 bit. The  
2.7.7 patch however
seems to revert this behaviour, limiting ioctl() to 32 bit, which will  
most likely
have an impact on ports using ioctl(). I can't find a related python  
issue - did we
ever report our change upstream?

Cheers
Marcus
