Installing Python 2.5.2: 'make' fails in posixmodule.c

[zhouyangpku at gmail.com]

Dear friends:

I'm trying to install python on irix 6, the lab server. It fail at '
make ' procedure for Modules/posixmodule.c. I've just configured the
prefix for my own path and no other option changed. make clean didn't
help.

Here it is:
       gcc -c -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g  -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-
prototypes  -I. -IInclude -I./Include   -DPy_BUILD_CORE -
DPYTHONPATH='":plat-irix6:lib-tk"' \
                -DPREFIX='"/user_data2/yzhou/local"' \
                -DEXEC_PREFIX='"/user_data2/yzhou/local"' \
                -DVERSION='"2.5"' \
                -DVPATH='""' \
                -o Modules/getpath.o ./Modules/getpath.c
        gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g  -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-
prototypes  -I. -IInclude -I./Include   -DPy_BUILD_CORE  -c ./Modules/
posixmodule.c -o Modules/posixmodule.o
