Nevermind, this had something to do with Python.h that I've included.
Removed the inclusion of Python.h and everything works fine.

For some odd reason

/* The number of bytes in an off_t. */
#define SIZEOF_OFF_T 8

is defined in pyconfig.h which is used by Python.h but oddly there is no 
redefinition of off_t anywhere in Python files. Kinda puzzling.
