Problems with building python ports inside a Tinderbox jail

Dear port maintainers,

I have a problem with building the python ports ('lang/Python27' and
'lang/Python26') inside a Tinderbox jail.

The problem is related to the ctypes module. The ctypes module is
built sucessfully, but importing it (which is done by the port
installation) fails due to a undefined symbol('ffi_prep_closure_loc').
The ctypes module itself isn't mandatory but the installation renames
the module library from '_ctypes.so' to '_ctypes_failed.so' which is
not part of the pkg-plist. This wouldn't be a major problem on a real
system but the Tinderbox recognizes the incomplete deinstallation (due
to missing pkg-plist entries) and marks the port as invalid.

I could patch for the pkg-plist of course, but fixing the real problem
would be much better.

Some information about the environment:
- - The base system (which is hosting the Tinderbox) is a FreeBSD 9.0
amd64 on a virtual machine (VirtualBox)

- - The used jail is a FreeBSD 8.2 RELENG i386.
The jail was created with the '-a i386' option and its env file contains:
ARCH=i386
MACHINE_ARCH=i386
UNAME_m=i386
UNAME_p=i386

Is it possible that the MACHINE_ARG causes some problems?

Some things that I already tried/figured out:
- - The port builds successfully on the base system
- - The port builds successfully on a newly installed FreeBSD 8.2 i386
(in a new virtual machine - no jail).
- - The port builds successfully inside a FreeBSD 8.2 RELENG amd64 jail

To complete the information, I attached the 2 build logs (python26,
python27)!

Does anyone know a solution for this problem?
Thank you in advance!

Best regards
Alexander Lenz
