Sure, you didn't say if you tried just disabling optimization.  That is
often a problem.  configure normally, but change the optimization from
-O3 to -O0, -O1, and -O2.  My guess is that -O1 will work and -O2
won't.  Even -O0 will be faster than --with-pydebug since assertions
won't be enabled (you may need to pass --without-pydebug to disable the
option).
