Please, could you verify if this problem persists in Python 2.3.4
or 2.4?

If yes, in which version? Can you provide a test case?

If the problem is solved, from which version?

Note that if you fail to answer in one month, I'll close this bug
as "Won't fix".

Thank you!

It's not length; it's the '=' symbol.

Modules/makesetup compares the line to '*=*', and if it matches,
assumes it's a definition, like 'DESTLIB=foo'.  That also matches your 
-DBYTE_ORDER=1234, though, so makesetup just copies the line verbatim into the definition section.

I don't see how to fix it, though; shell pattern matching doesn't seem powerful enough to do something like [^ ]*=*.
