OK, I can see why Python.h has to be first, but surely, abiding by the spec
shouldn't prevent code from executing properly?  Should I raise a bug report
for this?  I'm guessing that only Solaris is affected (though maybe other
BSD-types are, too?  AFAIK, only Solaris has the /proc oddity).  I'd like to
be able to produce compliant modules.  I'd like to help, if I can.
