pyport.h FreeBSD/Mac OS X "fix" causes errors in C++ compilation

[Mark Brethen]

During build of freecad I'm seeing errors of this type:

:info:build /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../lib/c++/v1/__locale:436:15: error: C++ requires a type specifier for all declarations
:info:build     char_type toupper(char_type __c) const
:info:build               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:info:build /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Headers/pyport.h:731:29: note: expanded from macro 'toupper'

I was directed to the python bug report tracker at

http://bugs.python.org/issue10910

There is a patch available, which I don't believe has been implemented. I'll submit a ticket.
