Thanks for the reply.  Building 2.4.1 on Tiger has issues for me, at  
least.  Here is the problem I'm seeing.  After running the following:

tar xvzf Python-2.4.1.tgz
cd Python-2.4.1
./configure --prefix=/Users/gary/tmp/
make

I then get this output from make:

The same recipe didn't cause this problem on Panther/gcc 3.x  
yesterday.  Any ideas?

Thanks
