Get socketmodule compiling on IRIX 6.5.10.
...
I don't think the fix here is very good, but I'm not sure what would
be better. In particular, we should not be defining _SGIAPI, but lots
of things break if we remove it.

expose the C API subsection which was hidden from LaTeX in a comment. In
...
the info conversion the \comment LaTeX macro mapped to a Texinfo @ignore
macro. Unfortunately, py2texi.el is not smart enough to avoid generating
links to the @ignore'd section, which causes makeinfo to croak.
Exposing this text is probably not the most correct thing to do, as this
documentation really belongs in the C API manual. This does get the info
files generated, however, which is a more practical goal considering the
impending release of 2.3rc1.

Doctest now examines all docstrings by default. Previously, it would
...
skip over functions with private names (as indicated by the underscore
naming convention). The old default created too much of a risk that
user tests were being skipped inadvertently. Note, this change could
break code in the unlikely case that someone had intentionally put
failing tests in the docstrings of private functions. The breakage
is easily fixable by specifying the old behavior when calling testmod()
or Tester(). The more likely case is that the silent failure was
unintended and that the user needed to be informed so the test could be
fixed.

Remove unnecessary check in tests for slots allowed.
...
The !PyType_Check(base) check snuck in as part of rev 2.215, but was
unrelated to the SF patch that is mentioned in the checkin comment.
The test is currently unnecessary because base is set to the return
value of best_bases(), which returns a type or NULL.

More pre-2.3 build tweaks for the OS/2 EMX port:

- more clean up of the generated import library definiton (.DEF file)
following checking of patch 770521, and tightening of the sed regexps.
- use -O3 even with gcc 2.8.1 - worth nearly 10% with 2.3; worth
nothing with 2.2.x.
- clean up a couple of whitespace issues introduced by a cut'n'paste.
