the compiler.  This should(?) help to fix failures in test_math
and test_cmath on Linux/alpha.

Also add configure message reporting the result of uname -m, as
a debugging aid.

This is a modified version of a patch proposed by Humberto Diogenes
in the discussion of issue1883.

I will merge manually this change into the py3k branch: the tests must be adapted.

the extra events perfectly match several calls to socket._fileobject.__del__()

Backport candidate for the release25-maint branch.

* Use sys.stderr instead of sys.stdout.

This causes IDLE to crash when too many warnings are printed.

Will backport.

apparently because tanh(-0.) loses the sign of zero on that platform.
If true, this is a bug in FreeBSD.

Added a configure test to verify this.  I still need to figure out
how best to deal with this failure.

a warning instead of failing with a termios.error.

should fix the problem in the same way that
the cmath.phase problems were fixed.
