The patch LGTM but there is Borland C support in distutils
As discussed on python-dev, it's fine to support more C compiler to compile
extensions, than compilers supported to build Python itself.
there are several mentions in the documentation

STINNER Victor added the comment:
Ok, I pushed my patch. If you see remaining parts of the Borland C compiler,
you can remove them in a different changeset (reopen maybe the issue?).
For distutils, I consider that it's a different topic. If you want to drop
support of this compiler in
STINNER Victor added the comment:
It looks like Larry Hastings supports indirectly this issue :-)
We still have #ifdef's for Borland C--I'd be very surprised if anyone was
compiling Python 3 with Borland C.

Antoine, antique Turbo Pascal 7.0 (for DOS!) [1] is widely used for education
in xUSSR countries. Due to a bug [2] in the crt unit most education examples

New submission from STINNER Victor:
As a follow-up of the issue #22591, I propose to drop support of the Borland C
compiler.
In 2000, it was nice to support Visual Studio and Borland C++ Builder, because
they were the two most popular compilers on Windows. Borland C compiler could
also be
