[Python-Dev] Name clash with typedefs in object.h

Object.h declares various typedefs for routine pointers, and their names are
not adorned with some sort of Py_ prefix.
Suddenly this has started to be a problem for me on OSX (not sure why: either
object.h changed or because I got a new version of the OSX devtools): object.h
declares a typedef "destructor", and if that is in scope when <pthread.h> is
included this fails, which uses the name "destructor" as an argument name (for
a routine pointer), and the parser gets confused.
I think it's GCC that's to blame here, but still: shouldn't these names have
some sort of a prefix?
Alternatively I can apply a quick fix by defining "destructor" as something
else just before including <pthread.h>...
