This error is not related to the python build system - until you proof
me wrong.
I've spend some time now for seeking the error (see below), until i
discovered that yasm is nor using the python build system at all. It is
not even using any python package beside "python-wrapper", which uses
the trivial build system and propagates "python".
Since I already did the analysis, here it is for the records:
I had a look at the source and I doubt this failure is related to the
python build system. I have no i686 system for testing this, though.
*
Any error related to the new python build system would occur when
running any of the phases of the python build system. And even then
only calls to "setup.py" are effected. It is very uncommon that this
would happen in the middle of running the test suite.
*
The error occurs only for one series: "elf-amd64 objfmt", whereas
all other series pass, e.g. "GAS elf-x86 objfmt". Both series call
the same test-wrapper "out_test.sh" which seem not to have an
case-handling for platforms. These two series only differ in the
paths of the input and output files and the options passed to yasm.
If this error would be related to the python build system, more if
not all test-cases would fail.
*
The build log does not contain any entry related to python or
setup.py after the patch-shebang phase. So the python related stuff
seams not to be touched here.
