[Bug 1872847] Re: qemu-alpha linux-user breaks python3.6

[Barnabas Viragh]

I know, that it is broken since I use for alpha emulation, since
2017-2018. However it worked with python2.7 before. But python 2.7
reached end of life support, and HAVE TO use 3.6 or 3.7, so this one
became a pain now. I will try the git version, but have no high hopes...

Title:
  qemu-alpha linux-user breaks python3.6

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Running on Gentoo Linux in a chroot environment:
  # python3 -c 'import selectors; selectors.DefaultSelector()'
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python3.7/selectors.py", line 349, in __init__
      self._selector = self._selector_cls()
  OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

  However, on real hardware, with the same binaries there is no
  exception.

  This impacts whole python3 based Gentoo ebuild system (package
  management), and renders linux user mode alpha emulation in chroot
  environment building useless, more or less.

  The used systems:
  # qemu-alpha --version
  qemu-alpha version 4.2.0
