The C99 functions snprintf() and vsnprintf() are now required
to build Python.

PyOS_snprintf() and PyOS_vsnprintf() no longer call Py_FatalError()
on a buffer overflow on platforms which don't provide vsnprintf().

If you want to schedule another build, you need to add the ":hammer: test-with-buildbots" label again.
