>Description:

While trying to analyze PR 49490 I suspected the problem might be more a 
python than a HG problem, so I ran the unit tests (thanks wiz!) and got
various fallout. Some of this might be ARM/big endian specific. The FPU
errors are expected (Cortex A7 CPUs do not implement the relevant exceptions).

But at least ctypes, kqueue and multiprocessing should be looked at, I think
plist is a known issue.
