Hmm, maybe I should take another look at http://bugs.python.org/issue4805 .

Note that issue #10359 was not about any real compiler

True, but a real compiler has been mentioned in the thread, and I know that every time XEmacs lets a non-C89 feature slip through (most commonly, "//" comments and declarations following non-declarations, the latter being a killer feature in C-like languages IMO, but our current coding standard says "C89") we get build breakage reports.
