I don't suppose these issues go away with the flat-namespace option do
they?

Getting things to work with Python may require compiling Python's
main() with C++, which would be a shame.

Did you require that patch for the code to work?  The sockaddr struct
on Linux (and probably others) doesn't have an sa_len member, so the
patched code fails to compile. I haven't looked into it any further at
the moment.
