OK, now that I've built Python, I'm running into this problem building 
PyObjC:

I've found references online to similar problems when QuickTime 7 is 
installed on OS X 10.3.9 (which is the case here), but no solutions. I'd 
gladly downgrade to an earlier version of QuickTime if I knew how (I'm 
not using QuickTime), but haven't discovered any way to do it.
