I *guess* that the compiler command line does not work with your
changes, and that distutils got confused, and fails somewhere later
(or sooner, who knows). Without actually seeing the errors you got, it
is difficult to know more - but I would make sure the command line
arguments are ok instead of focusing on the .src error,
