I should point out that version checking is error prone to distro backports.

Done.

	* python/python-internal.h (Py_hash_t): Define it for Python <3.2.
	* python/py-value.c (valpy_fetch_lazy): Use it.  Remove cast to the
	return type.

Distros will be backporting Python fixes, not API/ABI breaking changes.

Adding a new typedef (in the library namespace) I do not find as an API
breakage (for correctly written applications).

Changing the tp_hash's callback type is, as clearly evidenced by
the necessity of this fix.

Thanks,

It's not. The API promise only applies to explicitly exported APIs and objects from  GDB Python

That’s true in many cases.  But here we’re dealing with a documented API difference, and the definition explicitly states that the change is associated with a particular Python version (core version, not distro).
