My compiler (Tru64 Unix, Compaq C V6.1-110 (dtk) on Digital UNIX V4.0F)
gives the following warnings with Objects/unicodeobject.c:

cc -O -Olimit 1500 -I./../Include -I.. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -c unicodeobject.c
-o unicodeobject.o
cc: Warning: unicodeobject.c, line 1072: The block-level declaration of the 
function "findchar" specifies an explicit storage class other than extern.
(funcstrcls)
        static const Py_UNICODE *findchar(const Py_UNICODE *s,
--------------------------------^
cc: Warning: unicodeobject.c, line 2033: In this declaration, "findchar" is 
declared with both internal and external linkage.  The previous declaration is
at line number 1072 in file unicodeobject.c. (mixlinkage)
const Py_UNICODE *findchar(const Py_UNICODE *s,
-----------------^

If I move the declaration at line 1072 from within the block to before the
function in which it occurs, the warning goes away.
