Summary: 2.4.1 build fails on OpenBSD 3.7

Initial Comment:
Python 2.4.1, OpenBSD 3.7, gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (propolice).

I'm including the logs here because they are short.

"./configure" printed the following:

checking curses.h usability... no
checking curses.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: curses.h: present but cannot be
compiled
configure: WARNING: curses.h:     check for missing
prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: curses.h: see the Autoconf
documentation
configure: WARNING: curses.h:     section "Present But
Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: curses.h: proceeding with the
preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: curses.h: in the future, the
compiler will take precedence
configure: WARNING:     ##
------------------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to
http://www.python.org/python-bugs ##
configure: WARNING:     ##
------------------------------------------------ ##
checking for curses.h... yes

This warning was printed for curses.h, ncurses.h,
sys/audioio.h, and sys/lock.h. (The reference to
"Autoconf documentation" is useless, because autoconf
is not used during the configure process, and is not
even installed on the system where I was doing the
build.) Then:

% make
gcc -pthread -c -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I./Include 
-DPy_BUILD_CORE -o Modules/python.o Modules/python.c
In file included from /usr/include/sys/select.h:38,
                 from Include/pyport.h:116,

                 from Modules/python.c:3:

Stop in /usr/src/Python-2.4.1.

Hey folks,

Also seeing this issue on 3.7.  Same setup described above.
 Loewis, not sure about the first part of your comment.  If
your asking if those header files exist and are available,
yes they are (atleast on my system).

So can you tell us whether there are missing prerequisite
headers? One would need to have access to your operating
system to resolve this issue.
