  • Trac #13210: Flush stdout and stderr before calling system().
  • Detect the Apple linker (which is still unsupported).
  • Remove unneeded .orig files in patches/
  • Remove mmsearch-with-temp-Solaris-fix.c patch (was needed for gcc-4.4.0 on Solaris).

  • Use 'patch' for patching.

AFAIK the "error messages" are suboptimal as well, i.e., at least in some cases exceptions get raised (e.g. KeyError IIRC) and tracebacks printed instead of "Error: <informative text>".

I think Python tracebacks are more useful than manual error messages, not less. Of course os.system() doesn't raise exceptions so some amount of manual error messages is unavoidable.
