Bug report

Bug description:

#include <Python.h>

When built on a MIPS architecture, _MIPS_SIM is used to determine architecture specifics. The value is expected to match either _ABIO32, _ABIN32 or _ABI64.

In gcc config/mips/mips.h these values are defined as compiler builtin_define inside of a switch/case. That means, mips64el and mips64 architectures know about _ABI64 but don't know about _ABIO32 and _ABIN32. In turn, when CPython tries to use them in comparison, they may be undefined identifiers.

In default compiler behavior, the undefined identifier will be evaluated as zero, and it will not match _MIPS_SIM. However, the issues pop up when -Wundef (or, even worse, -Werror=undef) compiler flag is enabled. Then suddenly it's visible as a warning or error:

In file included from /usr/include/python3.13/Python.h:14,
                 from example.c:1:
