No, it appears that the above patch and Corinna's getrlimit() et al. patch
kind of crossed.  My patch was committed on 2001/01/24 03:31:07 and 
Corinna's on 2000/12/27 01:08:00:

Tue Dec 27  1:08:00 2000  Corinna Vinschen <corinna AT vinschen DOT de>

        ...
        * resource.cc: New global variable `rlim_core'.
        (getrlimit): New function.
        (setrlimit): Ditto.
        ...

Since my youngest daughter was born on 2001/01/24 and I was fighting
to get my Cygwin Python DLL core (i.e., shared extensions) patch into
Python 2.1 for the third time (Python's build infrastructure underwent
radical changes right before the release), I was a little too harried
to upgrade my Cygwin DLL at the time.  Hence, the resource module failed
during my builds so I nixed it.

> And it is also not possible to build it?

No, it is possible with the attached patch.  Please try it and if it
works for you, then I will submit my patch to Python CVS.

Thanks,
Jason
