And secondly, how can I run the tests manually? I can't find a binary inside the buildarea tree. Does it get deleted afterward?

Yes, that's the 'clean' step of the buildbot build process. I'd suggest making another clone elsewhere (you can clone from the buildarea just to make the clone faster, but I'd leave the buildarea alone otherwise), then building and testing should be as simple as ./configure --with-pydebug && make && ./python -m test.test_posix.

As far as the failure itself, I have no comment.

Apologies if these are dumb questions, hopefully they're a small distraction from PEP 460 arguments!

It's kinda nice to get something non-PEP460 in the inbox this week :)
