Agreed.  Hence my patch (which I believe is correct -- if a data 
stucture
is in an include file that is included in multiple places (that will be 
put
in a library) then it should be 'extern').

Yes - I'm aware of this as well.  I actually *do* have a working version
of 2.3 stackless (with the stackless back at "last_hardware_only") that 
I have
been using (it also has the patch in question applied).  Also it has
a simple patch to to do free/auto scheduling of tasklets and I've been
using it successfully for months.  Let me know if anyone wants those
diffs.

However this is only a very small part of what is necessary to get the
Stackless "3.0" version up to python 2.3 since "3.0" involves a lot more
changes to the python core than the "last_hardware_only" version (which
only minimally impacts python).
