[Python-modules-team] Bug#681270: Bug#681270: causes FTBFS of pymvpa2 on s390x: TypeError: Improper input parameters in leastsq call

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

that was it -- assuring 'int' storage to be passed instead of npy_intp
(which is long int on s390x and int on s390) resolves this issue...

now I wonder what would be the cleanest patch ;-) (also running
unittests with this fix to see how many tests get "fixed")
