I haven't tested it, but I still see WITHOUT_COMPLEX in trunk and py3k 
branches. In py3k, it's referenced in:

./Include/Python.h
./Misc/HISTORY
./Objects/complexobject.c
./Objects/object.c
./Parser/tokenizer.c
./Python/ast.c
./Python/bltinmodule.c
./Python/getargs.c
./Python/marshal.c
./Python/modsupport.c

I checked complexobject.c, and it looks like it's used correctly there.

Eric.
