The problem is that pyport tries to replace the ctypes definion of the isascii(ch) and related functions by a replacement that works better with UTF-8 on FreeBSD and OSX. That replacement is incompatible with the localfwd.h header. The attached patch is a very crude hack that should fix the issue for this. This assumes that Python itself won't be compiled with C++ though, and might cause problems in C++ programs that use locale.h instead of localfwd.h. As such I won't apply the patch just yet, the patch needs review from someone that's more experienced w.r.t. C++.
