The bpo-29137 removed the fpectl module. But two macros were kept in pyfpe.h:

/* These macros used to do something when Python was built with --with-fpectl,
 * but support for that was dropped in 3.7. We continue to define them though,
 * to avoid breaking API users.
 */

#define PyFPE_START_PROTECT(err_string, leave_stmt)
#define PyFPE_END_PROTECT(v)

I propose to exclude them from the stable API. Maybe at least exclude them from the stable API >= 3.9?

    bpo-29137: Remove fpectl module (#4789)
    
    This module has never been enabled by default, never worked correctly
    on x86-64, and caused ABI problems that caused C extension
    compatibility. See bpo-29137 for details/discussion.
