Very. I built Python 1.0.3 on QNX 4.21 using the most recent compiler
update. Although it seems to configure and compile OK, it runs in a
rather demented fashion and flakes out early into the tests. It seems
to be getting the different internal object types confused. Something
to do with the Watcom compiler I suspect. I don't have the time at the
moment to figure out why. Looks like I'll have to stick with Tcl
(ouch! :-)).
