Comment (by alan.mcintyre):

 For what it's worth, I was able to use both Cython 0.9.6.3 and 0.9.6.14 to
 generate mtrand.c (after altering generate_mtranc_c.py as indicated in the
 patch), and NumPy builds just fine with it and all tests pass on Linux.

 I couldn't get the patch to apply cleanly to the numpy trunk, though.  I
 presume there were some changes to mtrand.c since the patch was made, or
 I'm missing some patch option; I tried everything I could think of.
