Summary: solaris2.6 problems with readline

Initial Comment:
having problem with compiling python2.0.1 2.0 (i think
i always had this problem after 1.5.2) on solaris 2.6

gcc  -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC
-I./../Include -I.. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./readline.c
./readline.c: In function `setup_readline':
./readline.c:414: `CPPFunction' undeclared (first use
in this function)
./readline.c:414: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once
./readline.c:414: for each function it appears in.)
./readline.c:414: parse error before `)'
*** Error code 1

I have always used to exchange Modules/readline.c with
the old file from the 1.5.2 release.

I finally got around to checking whats wrong, (or
atleast browse around the code).

readline.c Line 414 in void setup_readline states,
rl_attempted_completion_function = (CPPFunction
*)flex_complete;

should this not be;
rl_attempted_completion_function = (Function
*)flex_complete;


I have no problems if i change CPPfunction into
Function, i'm no readline expert but i think this is
the problem.


*sysinfo*
gcc 2.95.2
solaris 2.6
readline4.1

CPPFunction is defined in readline 4.2, so one solution 
would be to update to 4.2. The real type of this variable 
is rl_completion_func_t. So if this typedef is already 
available in 4.1, we should probably change the cast to 
rl_completion_func_t.
