That's the least I can do ;-)

Well, you never know...
Is there a way to check this?

To be sure I started again (removing all dirs
and without any environment variables, which would
point to my install of "old scipy", including the gcc 3.4.4).
This means that now I am running with
gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

 ./newcore/scipy/base/src/ does not contain this file,
but
 ./newcore/build/src/scipy/base/__ufunc_api.h
does
[ I send you the file off-list ]

OK, just let me know if you need any further information
or test runs etc.
