pyexpat error building Python 2.1c1

[Glenn R. Williams]

Hi All,

I just downloaded and built Release Candidate 1, and get an error when
it tries to compile pyexpat (see messages below from the build). 

The dangerous thing is that, since I have pyexpat already installed on
my system, all the tests from 'make test' work fine!

I built this copy of 2.1c1 in a separate directory, using the normal
configure, make and make test sequence. This is on Redhat 7.0.

Is there something wrong with pyexpat?

TIA,

Glenn
