[New-bugs-announce] [issue1621] Python should compile with -Wstrict-overflow when using gcc

[Gregory P. Smith]

New submission from Gregory P. Smith:

The resolution to http://bugs.python.org/issue1608 looks like it'll add
a -fwrapv gcc flag when building python.  This works around the issue
nicely on one compiler (gcc) but doesn't fix our fundamentally broken code.

We should fix all dependencies on integer overflow behavior, starting by
making everything compile properly with gcc's -Wstrict-overflow and
-Werror flags.
