[Pythonmac-SIG] Intel compilers to build Python?

[Boyd Waters]

I cannot get the Python package to build with the Intel compiler. It  
does not find the _Py_Main symbol when linking the top-level  
"python.exe".

What environment variables, configure arguments, and linker tweaks  
are you all using to build Python on Macintosh with the Intel compilers?
