You may need to configure Python not to use "gcc":

    In your Python source distribution folder:

       ./configure --without-gcc
      
    Then "make", "make test", "make install"

    From the "configure" source:

         --without-gcc                   never use gcc

Please let us know, whether or not they are right...

I do not always trust reps...
