Summary: ./configure fails w/error: cannot compute sizeof (wchar_t), 

Initial Comment:
 I am running RH 7.3, kernel  2.4.18-19.7.x, and gcc-2.96-113.    
I attempted to configure python-2.3a1 as follows:   
   
./configure  --enable-shared --with-threads --with-pth  
  
Got the following error:  
  
checking size of wchar_t... configure: error: cannot compute 
sizeof (wchar_t), 77
