I think the intent is to declare the __doc__ variables using
DOCSTRING:

    static char int_doc[] =
    DOCSTRING("int(x[, base]) -> integer\n\
    \n\
    Convert a string or number to an integer, if possible.  A floating point\n\
    argument will be truncated towards zero (this does not include a string\n\
    representation of a floating point number!)  When converting a string, use\n\
    the optional base.  It is an error to supply a base when converting a\n\
    non-string.");

Note that if implemented, the DOCSTRING macro will need a Py_ prefix.
