Well, OpenSSL rests in the default location, which is
/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl. Haven't the time to look into it right now,
sorry.

Ah, yes. The problem in my case is that the *library* files are just in
/usr/lib, but the include files are not. I re-indented the code to pull the
debian-specific code out of the 'if prefix + os.sep + 'lib' not in
lib_dirs' block, and it works now. Haven't tested it on other code yet, but
I think it should work regardless.

D'oh, I guess not. I thought I did (I did on all other platforms :) but I
guess I didn't, 'cause it works now. Thanx.

This happened even with completely fresh, newly checked out trees, on all
but FreeBSD (three different trees: Debian woody, BSDI 4.0 and BSDI 4.1) so
I'm pretty sure that's not it.
It works now, though, so I guess the move from a dynamic signalmodule to a
static one does the trick ;) I got 'make test' working by applying the
following patch to Makefile{,.in}, and running 'make PYTHONPATH=.:<builddir>
test' (determining builddir by hand, for now.):
***************
*** 216,223 ****
TESTPYTHON= ./python$(EXE) -tt
test: all
-rm -f $(srcdir)/Lib/test/*.py[co]
! -PYTHONPATH= $(TESTPYTHON) $(TESTPROG) $(TESTOPTS)
! PYTHONPATH= $(TESTPYTHON) $(TESTPROG) $(TESTOPTS)
# Install everything
install: altinstall bininstall maninstall

And because of that, I also noticed something funny: BSDI calls itself
'BSD/OS <version>', so distutils actually makes a directory called 'lib.bsd'
and 'temp.bsd', with inside those a directory 'os-<version>-i386-2.1'. Is
that a distutils bug, a setup.py bug, or intentional behaviour of one of the
two ?
