I applied the trunk patch, hoping it would trigger some additional improvements. Once we are there +1 on backporting, but I don't think we should do that on every separate patch.

I believe that, with Python 3 on Unix, autogen.sh && configure && make
work, but 'make check' doesn't. But we don't have a buildbot running
that config, so maybe it's right to call it "not (yet) supported".
Shouldn't this be backported to 1.9?
