    Research direction

    Start by reading BPO issue 31171 and the three referenced pull requests (#10563, #3054, and #13353), since the issue is in patch review and the work may already be covered there. A completed fix should make multiprocessing.BoundedSemaphore work for 32-bit Python when cross-compiling on Linux, with validation appropriate to the affected library behavior.
