With the current ./configure setup, it looks to me as though there are 
no circumstances under which the file Python/hypot.c is compliled.
There's a line

AC_REPLACE_FUNCS(hypot)

in configure.in;  which is supposed (if I understand correctly) to check 
for a system hypot(), and use the replacement file hypot.c if the system 
hypot() isn't found;  but the mechanism for using the replacement file 
seems not to work:  I tried the following:

(1) replace all occurrences of hypot with myhypot in configure.in, 
pyport.h, complexobject.c, mathmodule.c and cmathmodule.c.
(2) move Python/hypot.c to Python/myhypot.c, and rename the function 
contained within from hypot to myhypot
(3) rerun autoconf and autoheader
(4) ./configure && make

The result:  as expected, during configuration I got:

checking for myhypot... no

but building failed with:

(I'd like to know how to fix this:  I've been working on fixing some of 
the numerical problems in the cmath module, and hoped to imitate the 
hypot setup for the functions log1p, asinh and copysign.)
