python on cygwin

[eric]

Hello,

I'm trying to build python from scratch on cygwin and am running into "remap"
errors such as:

    C:\cygwin\tmp\scipy_test\cygwin\Python-2.2.1\python.exe: *** unable
    to remap C:\cyggdbm.dll to same address as parent -- 0x420000

I'm using the latests cygwin (1.3.10) on W2K.  When trying to build python,
THings chug along just fine, and then I get the following:

gcc -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DUSE_DL_IMPORT -I. -I/tmp/scipy_t

I read a few mails about a rebase solution at:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00894.html

However, after building and running this on the percribed files, I get:

$ rebase -d -b 0x68000000 -o 0x10000 cygXpm-X4.dll cygXpm-noX4.dll     cygbz21.

cygcrypto.dll: new base = 67ee0000, new size = b0000
ReBaseImage() failed with last error = 2

Can anyone point out the error in my ways, or point me to a fix?

thanks,
eric
