No, that's a typedef for lenfunc as a function pointer. C is fun like
that :)

It's actually:

pyport.h:typedef ssize_t Py_ssize_t;

which makes sense. ssize_t is __darwin_ssize_t, which is long. Which
again makes sense.

Okay, I've forgotten the context. But something it trying to cast
(int*) and (long*) to each other somehow. It should work one way, it
won't work the other. I suspect that hacking the file in question to
replace (int*) with (long*) or (Py_ssize_t*) will fix it.
