Was receiving the error below and then a few little 
changes to make the configure script think I was using 
gcc while still using ccc...

Here is a copy of the little script I used to set the env to 
use ccc while configuring python to compile using gcc 
and thus build the appropriate extensions:

./configure \
      --prefix=/usr \
      --sysconfdir=/etc \
      --build=alphapca56-alpha-linux-gnu \
      --without-gcc \
      --enable-shared \
      --with-dec-threads \
      --with-cxx="ccache cxx" \
      --with-cc="ccache ccc" \
      --without-threads

make CC="ccache ccc"  CXX="ccache cxx" \
        CFLAGS="-O5 -fast -mtune=ev56 -w -pipe -
lpthread -threads" \
        CXXFLAGS="-O5 -fast -mtune=ev56 -w -pipe -
lpthread -threads"

EVERYTHING compiled fine but for one little thing, two 
extensions didn't compile:

The problem could be an extra ; on the PyObject_HEAD line.
(There shouldn't be any.)  The semi-colon has been removed
in SVN.  Can you verify that is the problem?  The fix wasn't
ported to 2.4, but that's easy enough if removing the
semi-colon fixes the problem.

If you want faster resolution, perhaps you can volunteer to
help out.

I thought Python-2.4.1 was in 'bug fix' mode? Well this
fucker is as OLD as dirt...
