This could be due to your using GCC 4. Apparently, gcc 4
is willing to inline Py_ADDRESS_IN_RANGE even though it
appears at the end of the file, at -O3.

To suppress that, you can declare the function as
__attribute__((noinline)). You will need to conditionalize
this on gcc, but not only that: it appears that noinline
was one of the more recent additions. I'm not sure when
it was added, but apparently, it is present in 3.3 and
later.

Alternatively, just recompiling the file without -O3 also
works.
