In the "put the finger in the dike" approach, actually modifying  
Modules/posixmodule.c, adding the following two lines at line 5991  
(or anywhere earlier, of course) at least lets "make install" run to  
completion and more-or-less build:

#undef HAVE_FSTATVFS
#undef HAVE_STATVFS

...except that Tk appears to be pretty unhappy and I keep on getting

/usr/include/AvailabilityMacros.h:101:6: #error  
MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED must be >= MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED

all over the place.

argh.

Can anyone else who upgraded verify this behavior?  The only things  
that I figure might possibly be affecting me (relatively) uniquely  
are packages from fink...I guess I'll try retreating from fink  
entirely next, expecially if no one else can duplicate. :-(
