It creates a file with 2500000000L. Depending on the file system you
are using, that may or may not be possible (it tries to create it with
a hole in it, so it normally takes only little disk space).

You may want to run the test verbosely: 

./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -v test_nis

You need to explicitly give regrtest.py permission to use certain
resources; see 'regrtest.py -h' for details. In the case, the default
'make test' doesn't run the test to avoid triggering a dial-up
connection.

That should have been either Tkinter, or _tkinter - not tkinter.

It seems that you have not put grabbed enough commands: there
definitely *was* a command to build both _tkinter.o and tkappinit.o.
When setup.py decides that building the module failed, it removes not
only the resulting .so, but also all involved object files.
