[Numpy-discussion] Changeset 5609 of numpy breaks scipy build

[Fernando Perez]

Howdy,

I just noticed that scipy wasn't building via my little script that
does a numpy/mpl/scipy svn update+clean build.   Chris Burn's
excellent hunch pinpointed the culprit:

http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/changeset/5609

Innocent looking as it may be, with numpy after that revision,
building current scipy SVN gives:

I don't know what the right solution needs to be, but I figured we'd
at least report it quickly so it can be looked into.

Cheers,
