The test_posix failure is a regression from 2.6 (but it only shows up on 
some machines - it is caused by a fairly braindead implementation of a 
couple of posix apis by Apple apparently).

     http://bugs.python.org/issue7900

There are various patches available and a lot of work that has gone into 
diagnosing it - but there was some disagreement on what is the *best* 
way to fix it.

Two of the other failures I'm pretty sure are problems in the test suite 
rather than bugs (as Bill said) and I'm not sure about the ctypes issue. 
Just starting a full build here.
