[Python-Dev] zlib module build failure on Mac OSX 10.4.7

[Neal Norwitz]

Maybe do a make distclean.  There was a problem where old versions of
zlib (those without inflateCopy) weren't supported.  They are now, but
it's a configure check.  That coupled with the upgrade and the 10.3 in
the pathname, seems like it's just something didn't get cleaned up
properly.  You could always rm -rf build/
