Okay, it's a build problem.  For whatever reason, the -D flags set in
configure weren't getting passed to gcc during the make.  If I add
that explicitly, everything works.  So Py2.1.2 is fine with Martin's
patch, which should be committed to the maint branch.

If I come up with a better recipe for posix-large-files I'll submit
it as a doc-fix.
