Hi,

while trying to get Python 2.6 working on OpenBSD/sgi (64-bit port) I ran into the following during build:

OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum

I ran the command that triggered this by hand with -v added:

(sgi Python-2.6.3 40)$ export PATH; PATH="pwd:$PATH"; export PYTHONPATH; PYTHONPATH="pwd/Lib"; export DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH; DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH="pwd"; export EXE; EXE=""; cd ./Lib/plat-openbsd4; ./regen python$EXE -v ../../Tools/scripts/h2py.py -i '(u_long)' /usr/include/netinet/in.h

import zipimport # builtin

Does anyone know what's going on here, or how to fix it? I can provide a full build and configure log if needed.

Cheers, Jasper
