I see a compiler error:

../../archer/gdb/python/python.c: In function 'gdbpy_decode_line':
../../archer/gdb/python/python.c:656:7: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
make[2]: *** [python.o] Error 1

I see that: gdbpy_convert_exception (except) return a "void" type, but the function gdbpy_decode_line() need to return a "PyObject *"
The macro GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION (except) did return a NULL, see:
/* Use this after a TRY_EXCEPT to throw the appropriate Python
exception. */
#define GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION(Exception) \
do { \
if (Exception.reason < 0) \
{ \
gdbpy_convert_exception (Exception); \
return NULL; \
} \
} while (0)
So, what about:
gdbpy_convert_exception (except);
return NULL;
