1. Check that your python22.lib is not corrupted.

2. Try using an OMF lib built using the COFF2OMF from the Borland 5.5
free-from-the-net kit -- I've e-mailed you one such.

3. Upgrade to the 5.5 freebie -- supported by distutils.

4. If (2) works and (3) is not feasible for you for some reason, you
could possibly download 5.5, grab the COFF2OMF.EXE, and jettison the
rest ...
