make: circular dependency for Modules/signalmodule.o

Hi group,

I'm preparing Python 2.4.2 for the upcoming Minix 3.x release, and I
have problems with make.  configure runs fine and creates the makefile,
but right at the end ends with an error about a circular dependency in
Modules/signalmodule.o.

I'm new to makefiles and makefile rules, so I can understand what this
means, but I don't know how I can fix this problem.  Looks like I'll
need to rewrite one or more makefile rules and during Minix builds add
some code to patch it up for those rules (as opposed to perhaps porting
a more capable `make` like gmake right now).

Can someone please help me make this problem go away?

Thanks!
James Buchanan
