Problems installing 2.2.1 and 2.2.2

[RVD]

Gents, 

I have a problem with installing both Python 2.2.2 (prefered) as well
as 2.2.1.

I have installed 1.6 successfully and have been using it for some time
now -- I've never needed anything newer until the new 

Mailman 2.1 got released today.

With Python 2.2.2, I'm getting a major break right off the bat:

(configure output removed for space reasons - if you want to see it,
I'll provide it)

Python 2.2.1 gets considerably further through the build.... up to the
point of building the extentions.

For each of the extentions, it disables them... making a less than
useful python executable.

Ie;

running build_ext
building 'struct' extension
gcc -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I.

build/lib.linux-i686-2.2
/regex.so
WARNING: removing "regex" since importing it failed

etc....

Again, this does produce a python executable, but all the WARNING
messages have me worried (and the fact that make test fails as 

soon as it -unsuccessfully- tries to build the missing extentions)

Other info you'll probably be asking for:

GCC version 2.7.2.1
Redhat Kernel 2.0.36  (ya, it's old, but I cant upgrade without 
    	breaking other stuff)
