Nick Coghlan added the comment:

- 3.4 is already in security-fix only mode so we can safely ignore it for this 
purpose

- 3.5.3 is likely to be the last general bugfix release of 3.5, so we can 
probably skip that as well

- that would mean the ABI compability shims would only go in 3.6.1 and the next 
2.7 release

At that point, does it actually make sense to provide the shims? Or should we 
instead just add the deprecation warnings and say "Don't use the --with-fpectl 
option, as it doesn't work properly, and breaks ABI compatibility for extension 
modules built with that Python"?

And then add a build time "#pragma message '--with-fpectl' is deprecated as it 
breaks extension module ABI compatibility" to the WANT_SIGFPE_HANDLER branch in 
Include/fpectl.h
