Salut Laurent,

This just in from doko aka Matthias (who is among the more clueful Debian/Ubuntu
folks, and who has been looking after both gcc et al and Python for a decade+).

Can you take a peek?  I am in the middle of something else, but I could of
also apply the suggested patch directly and see how it fares -- before you
maybe fold it in upstream for 2.7.3?

Thanks,  Dirk
