[Python-Dev] installation of python on a Zaurus

I'm trying to get Python installed on a Zaurus, running OpenBSD.  There 
are several problems with the basic install, some of which I've fixed, 
more I haven't.  I need a particulare question solved here, so I'm going 
to ffer in recompense what I'ver learned so far:  The configure script 
seems to know (from internal comments) that _XOPEN_SOURCES must be 
turned off, but it's not efectively turned off, and the configure script 
needs to ber edited, else you can't even get the basic build to even 
begin.  I don't know enough abou tocnfigure to offer a correct fix, but 
this is true (I hand-edited the configure script to turn xopen_sources 
to "no".

What I'm after is the reason why it keeps on telling me (during the 
build, not during configure) that it can't find my just installed tcl85 
and tk85 libs.  I have soft-linked them to a more common naming 
(libtcl.so.1.0 and libtk.so.1.0, which is the same index, just dropping 
the "85" from the naming, and doing the ldconfig'ing ok) but this 
doesn't seem to fix it.  There is a configure-time thing about UCS-tcl, 
and I don't know what this is.  It IS in configure, I can't even locate 
the source of the complaint about not finding the tcl libs, it's not in 
the top level directory anywhere.

Appreciate the help.
