Summary: _POSIX_C_SOURCE redefined

Initial Comment:
  Not really a bug.  Just a warning which might be
easy to cleanup with an ifndef.  If the following simple
file is compiled with gcc-3.2.2 on redhat-8.0 (i686) using
the c++ compiler, you get the following warning:

--------------------- test.C -------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <Python.h>

  Doh!  This is even documented on the python
C API reference.  Sorry for wasting your time.

It's a really bad idea to include system headers *before*
including Python.h.

Do you still get the errors if you reverse the order?
