Summary: 'make install' needs write access to build directory

Details: [submitted by David Highley <dhighley@highley-recommended.com>]

I experienced the following types of installation build problems with the
Python 2.0 release. Not all building and modification of files is completed
int the build step. When doing the install as a root user and the Python
code tree is NFS mounted the install proess fails. I also needed to modify
the Modules/Makefile to pass ld a run time path so that when the python
executable is invoked it can find the tcl/tk libraries in /usr/local/lib.
This install was on a Solaris 8 system.
