FWIW, the issue seems to be similar for at least some platforms:
Sandia-intel (icpc, various versions), as well as some mipspro builds.

Heh, I did reply, in private, noting that I would look into it.

None of the test results I have looked at seem to indicate a problem
with the feature in question per se, but rather peculiarities due to
the embedding of the python interpreter into the test executable,
which is more an issue with the build system (which I have very little
experience with).
The only case where the test itself fails is with MSVC 8 (can't find
the "import_" module). However, this used to pass fine for the 1.34.1
release, so I wonder what changed. Also, I don't have access to a
MSVC 8 box, and thus can't really do any work to fix this.
Thanks,
Stefan
