Oh, ok, that explains it. gcc 4.2, including apple one, does not
support -Wno-long-double. You should not change gcc compared to what
python distutils expects, it will not work as is (unless you use
numscons).

The complex thing should be fixed in trunk - would you mind testing
the last numpy/scipy for python 2.5 and ppc ?
