John Malmberg added the comment:

These files are identical to the files in the expat git repository.

So it looks like I need to submit the fix and get it accepted to that 
repository first.  And then at some point cPython will pick up the change.

I can still provide diffs if desired, but based on Victor's comment, they would 
not be applied.

Historical Note:
That VMS specific code is only needed for building on VAX/VMS 5.5-1 and earlier 
with the long obsolete VAX C.  VAX/VMS 5.5-1 was released in June 1992.

VAX/VMS 5.5-2 was released November 1992, and around that time a new DEC C 
compiler release appeared that no longer needed that hack, but used it as the 
default mode for backwards compatibility.  That default mode is not compatible 
with many Open Source projects.
