I tested without this patch, and indeed, I could build Python 3 and all
the external modules that can be enabled with Python 3 without problem.
So I believe it may no longer be necessary with the Python 3 bump to
3.4.

I have tested, and patches 7 onwards apply without problem if you
discard PATCH 6. So I guess there is no need for me to resend the
series, you can just continue to apply it starting from PATCH 7, if you
don't mind.

Thanks!

Thomas
