Python 2.3C1 Fails to build ?

[Holden Caulfield]

Hi,

I am trying to build Python 2.3 RC1 (2.3c1) on Cray SV1 running UNICOS 10.0.
And I am difficulty
building it on this architecture.

Background
--------------

. Python 2.2.3 builds withs no problem. (without any changes).
. This architecture has all C-datatypes as 8 bytes.

Try 1:

I got this error message first time around.

- For some reason the strdup prototype does not get picked by the python
build.
Anyways, since strdup is there in libc, I just #ifdef'ed the prototype for
_CRAY and proceeded. It went
further this time around, but now I get this error in obmalloc.c, which
seems more problematic to fix.

Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks.
