This output does not help narrow things down much.  Try this:

    $ ./python -c "print 'hello world'"

If that dumps core or doesn't print "hello world" something is
badly broken with the build.  If it doesn't work, you should use
a debugger like gdb to find out where its crashing:

    $ gdb ./python
    (gdb) run -c "print 'hello world'"
    ...
    (gdb) bt

The information printed by "bt" is extremely helpful for
debugging.  If the "hello world" command works, there probably a
problem with one of the extension modules.  Again, you should be
able to use gdb to debug it.  These commands should do the trick:

    $ gdb ./python
    (gdb) run Lib/test/regrtest.py

Hope that helps.
