Summary: OS X framework build for python 2.5 fails, configure is odd

Initial Comment:
The OS X framework build for python 2.5 does not install a dynamic 
library at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python 
where it should. The python2.5 executible does not run because it is 
trying to load this dynamic library.

This is on an intel mac with darwin-8.6.1 and gcc4 and python2.5a2.

Also all of the extra modules (_CG extension, IDLE extra) fail to link 
because their link command is -lpython2.5 which is not what it should be 
for a framework build and even if it was correct for linking agianst a 
framework it would fil because the framework doesn't have its library 
anyway.

Finally, the configure script behaves oddly in that it works fine, but if you 
change the parameters and rerun it it will fail unless you run 'make 
distclean'

This is where it fails.

checking whether mmap with MAP_ANON(YMOUS) works... yes
configure: error: "libffi has not been ported to i686-apple-darwin8.6.1."
Failed to configure _ctypes module
