Right. 

I've added some ifdefs just to make sure. This is how my
Python.h file looks now:

...
See the file "Misc/COPYRIGHT" for information on usage and
redistribution of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES.
******************************************************************/

/* Enable compiler features including SUSv2 compatibility; switching
   on C lib defines doesn't work here, because the symbols haven't
   necessarily been defined yet. */
#ifndef _GNU_SOURCE
# define _GNU_SOURCE	1
#endif
#ifndef _XOPEN_SOURCE
# define _XOPEN_SOURCE	500
#endif

/* Include nearly all Python header files */

#include "patchlevel.h"
#include "config.h"
...

Other opinions ?
