Compiling Python 2.7 gives:

/home/proj/python/cpython/Modules/_bsddb.c: In function ‘newDBObject’:
/home/proj/python/cpython/Modules/_bsddb.c:936:5: warning: this ‘else’ clause does not guard... [-Wmisleading-indentation]
     else
     ^~~~
/home/proj/python/cpython/Modules/_bsddb.c:938:9: note: ...this statement, but the latter is misleadingly indented as if it is guarded by the ‘else’
         self->moduleFlags.cursorSetReturnsNone = DEFAULT_CURSOR_SET_RETURNS_NONE;
         ^~~~

The code in question was changed a long time ago in revision defa1d825b08:

     if (self->myenvobj)
-        self->getReturnsNone = self->myenvobj->getReturnsNone;
+        self->moduleFlags = self->myenvobj->moduleFlags;
     else
-        self->getReturnsNone = GET_RETURNS_NONE_DEFAULT;
+        self->moduleFlags.getReturnsNone = DEFAULT_GET_RETURNS_NONE;
+        self->moduleFlags.cursorSetReturnsNone = DEFAULT_CURSOR_SET_RETURNS_NONE;

It looks like the solution is to group both statements with braces, but I don’t know this module, so I can’t be sure, and I don’t know how to test it.
