this is a bug on the autoconf from CentOS 4 which is used to build the
release packages, therefore you can also workaround the issue by
rebootstrapping the package or making your own with a better version
of the autotools.  for simplicity I'd uploaded an unofficial release
package for 3.1.4 bootstrapped on fedora rawhide in :

once you use "-std=gnu99" is no longer the same toolchain and therefore
building python with the same standard support should solve your problem.
