I guess I need clarification. The command gcc-Link-action appears to be some
sort of macro that Jam uses and I don't know what that is. No where on any
build line echoed to the screen is -lutil written, only on the error line.
Nor can I find util in any of the mak files, or the definition of
gcc-Link-action.
In short, I don't know what/where I should be editing this. To me the output
appears significantly different than that from a makefile, or I could do
what you ask.
I did try running the subsequent command (gcc ...) without -lutil but this
produced
a lot of errors about undefined symbols such as _PyErr_* that don't look at
all related
to util.

Thanks,
Scott

P.S. I only tried to build 1.28.0 because you said 1.25.0 was so ancient!
     Even worse, I can't get the build to work under CygWin either so I'll
     have more questions for this group in short order.
