Since 'c' is explicitly _not_ in USE_LANGUAGES for the package, the
optional C extension should consistently not be built anyway. So we
have a warning about this, but not a build failure (at least not for
me in a sandbox with 3.10 on 10.99.4).

Enabling it would make the PLIST handling harder because the C
extension doesn't support Python 3.11.
