Beats me.  The symbol __SC__ appears to be predinfed by the Symantec C
compiler.  It shows up in several bits of interesting code via google, like

#if defined(__MWERKS__) || defined (__SC__)
#define BRAIN_DEAD_INLINING     // define this to declare "hot"
#endif                          // functions as macros instead
                                // of C++ inline functions

Alas, like most other older & widely-ported C programs, Python's use of
magical & undocumented preprocessor symbols is a god-awful mess.
