Comment (by tardyp):

 So if this coming from a bug of setuptools, I would prefer to require an
 updated version of setuptools, rather than trying to workaround them at
 the price of maintainability.

 We already have a lot of monkey patching in buildbot, and workarounds
 other's bug. It looks pretty expensive to have us maintain all sorts of
 weird combination of system settings.
