Brett,
I'm building MacPython binary distributions with an LDFLAGS configure 
option, as in
	$PYTHONSRC/configure -C --enable-framework LDFLAGS=-Wl,-x

This has suddenly started failing with a very mysterious error message. 
When the
make tries to build the extension modules I get
	running build
	running build_ext
	usage: setup.py [options]
	setup.py: error: no such option: -W

Could this somehow be caused by your fix?
