Addendum:  I tried this package on a box with XCode 2.1 (gcc 4.0.0)
and it built--it definitely looks to be "compiler intolerance".

This stinks. Reading that discussion, one gets the impression they
deliberately broke the compiler, without asking or telling anyone, not
even their own documentation guys, and without really knowing what they
are doing. For scipy, I don't see how this can be "fixed".

After all, even according to Apple's own compiler documents, nested functions are a well known gcc extension of the C standard. People have every right to use them in their code (not nesting main() inside another main(), though; that one was a real bug).
