Squash warning cause by using "-Wstrict-prototypes" in cython

[sagetrac-mabshoff]

When compiling C code in cython some times "-Wstrict-prototypes" is added, causing the following warning:

cc1plus: warning: command line option "-Wstrict-prototypes" is valid for C/ObjC but not for C++

IIRC this gcc option is added by python-cflags:

SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/python2.5-config --cflags
-I/home/malb/SAGE/local/include/python2.5 \ 
-I/home/malb/SAGE/local/include/python2.5 \
-fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall \
-Wstrict-prototypes

I agree with malb here that it is Python which is at fault here. Since this is only a minor annoyance I think we should just invalidate it.

Thoughts?

I'm all for invalidating.

Agreed. This is a distutils problem anyway.
