I've found several more occasions of // comments and one usage of 
inline. We *really* should have some way to compile Python with C89 checks

Python doesn't compile with the -pedantic option but it compiles with 
-std=c89 -Werror after I've applied some patches. I've added a new make 
command to add extra checks. Maybe the build bots could use "make c89" 
instead of "make" to build Python?

c89:
         $(MAKE) CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS) -std=c89 -Werror"
