I would like to know if it should be considered as a release blocker. Georg Brandl said yes on IRC.

Under the condition that it is within reason to fix it before the release. What should be possible is to disable building SemLock/multiprocessing.synchronize on FreeBSD. As a consequence, multiprocessing locks would stop working on FreeBSD, and concurrent futures; the tests would recognize this lack of features and get skipped. Regards, Martin

The multiprocessing test suite already skips the tests which use the (broken) functionality on BSD correctly. This logic needs to be added to the concurrent.futures library.
