Try setting the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable to 10.4.

Anything you build on Tiger isn't going to work prior to that anyway,  
so setting this can't hurt anything.  I tried building 2.4.1 again  
and it worked just fine:

  % sw_vers
ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.4
BuildVersion:   8A428

% cc --version
powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.0 (GCC) 4.0.0 20041026 (Apple Computer,  
Inc. build 4061)
...

% echo $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
10.4

If you set this, and it still doesn't work, there's something else  
wrong with your configuration that I can't reproduce, so you're on  
your own if that is the case.

I'm not really sure why you're trying not to build a framework Python  
in the first place, there's no particularly good reason why you'd  
want a non-framework Python around.
