This patch makes sure that _POSIX_SOURCE and friends won't get defined when you build on Panther. Defining those have no effect on Panther, but will make it impossible to build extensions on a Tiger system when Python itself was build on Panther.

Logged In: YES user_id=580910 I don't suppose this helps, but yes this patch is save. I use this in production and haven't found an extension yet that wouldn't work when this patch is applied. I've also looked at the platform header files to determine if the patch is save. We (Bob Ippolitto and myself) are using a simular patch in our ongoing work to create an universal build of python.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 This patch cheated in a really dangerous way: the configure fragment was gained through editing, not through running autoconf. This was really bad, as it broke two months and a release later. The problem is that, in configure.in, [ does not denote a shell square bracket - it denotes an m4 quoted string. The square bracket is denoted with a quadrigraph. When committing configure.in, please always ignore configure fragments, and run autoconf/autoheader yourself. I fixed that in 43617 and 43618.
