[issue4500] Compiler warnings when compiling Python 3.0 with a C89 compiler

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de>:

Should / must we do anything about the issue? At least Python builds
with a C89 compiler except of ssl and socket module. Those modules
include non C89 compliant header files from the OS (bluetooth and tpic).
