I think it was in 2.3a1 and probably before.

It looks like the problem is having both sys/time.h and sys/select.h
included when both _XOPEN_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED are
defined.

SYS_SELECT_WITH_SYS_TIME is not defined in pyconfig.h so configure
is detecting the problem. It's just that SYS_SELECT_WITH_SYS_TIME is
not user anywhere in the code.

Something like this will get things a lot farther.
