I don't even see where DONT_HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H is ever defined: ... Is it defined in some Mac-specific project file?

A few existed before, but I know I submitted a couple of the listed ones for Windows CE. However, the CE config.h has never made it into the core, hence you can't find that particular definition...

Well, as I pointed out, the best way to do this is to add sys/types.h, sys/stat.h, and stat.h to the AC_CHECK_HEADER() macro in configure.in. The HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H macro and friends could then be checked. PC/wince_config.h (or whatever it is called) would just #undef the HAVE_* macros. The underlying issue here, is that autoconf can take care of these things for us quite easily -- that we don't need manual maintenance of the macros. For the odd platform without sys/types.h, autoconf will handle it, rather than Python needing to do a special-case declaration. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
