Python 2.3.7 Does not compile on Ubuntu 8.10 i386

[zenzike at gmail.com]

I came across this today, and found a similar bug in launchpad [1].
The following commands worked for me (including cleaning up
beforehand):

cd Python-2.3.7
make distclean
./configure BASECFLAGS=-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE
make

I hope that helps.
