Do you have any more output than that?  I presume the Python executable
itself built okay?  If so, does "./python Lib/test/regrtest.py" reveal any
problems besides lots of skipped tests because no extension modules have
been built?

Does building from the .tgz file give you the same problem?  There should be
no functional difference between the two, but since you mentioned it, I
thought I would check to be sure you weren't somehow attributing the problem
to the bzip2 package.
