Hello,

I would like some help understanding the build system. I am currently working on an issue (http://bugs.python.org/issue21627) and plan to create some common functionality in Python/setcloexec.c and Include/setcloexec.h that is conditionally compiled in on POSIX systems and not on Windows systems. I need to extract this functionality out from _Py_set_inheritable because it needs to run in the dangerous context of right after a fork and I don't believe it can throw exceptions. How can I conditionally compile some library code for certain platforms only?

Thank you, Steven Stewart-Gallus
