When using multiprocessing mode (-jN), regrtest now better reports errors if
a worker process fails, and it exits immediately on a worker thread failure
or when interrupted.

On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython except on Android
and Cygwin.

It is now possible for a statically linked Python to load a C extension
built using a shared library Python.

When Python is embedded, ``libpython`` must not be loaded with
``RTLD_LOCAL``, but ``RTLD_GLOBAL`` instead. Previously, using
``RTLD_LOCAL``, it was already not possible to load C extensions which were
not linked to ``libpython``, such as C extensions of the standard library
built by the ``*shared*`` section of ``Modules/Setup``.

distutils, python-config and python-config.py have been modified.

as a dynamic library accessing Python internals: export the :samp:`PyInit_{xxx}()`
function in DLL exports on Windows.

Add ``-fmax-type-align=8`` to CFLAGS when clang compiler is detected. The
pymalloc memory allocator aligns memory on 8 bytes. On x86-64, clang expects
alignment on 16 bytes by default and so uses MOVAPS instruction which can
lead to segmentation fault. Instruct clang that Python is limited to
alignment on 8 bytes to use MOVUPS instruction instead: slower but don't
trigger a SIGSEGV if the memory is not aligned on 16 bytes. Sadly, the flag
must be added to ``CFLAGS`` and not just ``CFLAGS_NODIST``, since third
party C extensions can have the same issue.
