OK: here is everything after the function that produced the error (there 
were a raft of warnings regarding the evils of defeating types with 
pointers earlier that I assume are not significant to the build):

gcc -c -Os -I//tmp/build/include -L//tmp/build/lib -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall 
-Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I./Include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -o Python/pythonrun.o
