Specifying the --optimize flag with ./configure causes make install to fail:
<SNIP>
0 www:~/download/Zope-2.7.5-final # ./configure --prefix=/opt/Zope-2.7.6 --optimize

Configuring Zope installation

Testing for an acceptable Python interpreter...

Python version 2.3.5 found at /usr/local/bin/python

The optimum Python version (2.3.5) was found at /usr/local/bin/python.

  - Zope top-level binary directory will be /opt/Zope-2.7.6.
  - Distutils install flags will be "--optimize=1 --no-compile"
  - Makefile written.

  Next, run make.

changing mode of /root/download/Zope-2.7.5-final/build-base/python-2.3/build-scripts/test.py from 644 to 755

Zope built. Next, do 'make install' (or 'make instance'
to run a Zope instance directly from the build directory).

(The number at the beginning of the prompt is $?, the return code of the last executed command; no .pyo files have been created nor any .pyc)

With --optimize removed, the installation succeeds.
