Python 2.4.2 make failure in posixmodule on OSX 10.4.3

[smurphus]

Hi All-

I'm trying to build Python 2.4.2 on OSX 10.4.3 (gcc ver. 3.3 apple
build 1495) and have the following error when running 'make':

gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp
-mno-fused-madd -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I.
-I./Include  -DPy_BUILD_CORE  -c ./Modules/posixmodule.c -o
Modules/posixmodule.o
Modules/posixmodule.c: In function `posix_lchown':

Modules/posixmodule.c:6075: warning: unused variable `st'
make: *** [Modules/posixmodule.o] Error 1

'make clean' hasn't helped, and I ran configure with
'--disable-toolbox-glue'.

I need to build it from source because I have a program with a long
running worker thread that I think will benefit from using Evan Jones'
memory management patch (http://evanjones.ca/python-memory-part2.html).
 Note that I haven't applied the diff yet; this is just the reason I
need to build from source.

Couldn't find anything on this in the group already, or the main Python
site, or in any of the docs with the distribution.
Any suggestions on how I can remedy this?
