might have a python compiled with LFS that we could install from ??

Not me. But are you checking comp.lang.python and the archives of it?
For example:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=+%22large+file+support%22+group:comp.lang.python&hl=en&sa=G&scoring=d

Thanks for the link Paul.

Now I have comed to a place where it actually compiles - some of it :-)
It exits with this error:
Objects/fileobject.c: In function `_portable_ftell':
Objects/fileobject.c:267: incompatible types in return
make: *** [Objects/fileobject.o] Error 1
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.88880 (%build)

Okay ... 
Looking into the source code the function looks like this:
Objects/fileobject.c: In function `_portable_ftell':
Objects/fileobject.c:267: incompatible types in return
make: *** [Objects/fileobject.o] Error 1
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.88880 (%build)

Now this is the first time ever I am trying to compile something as big as python - and I have no idea on what is going on here.
Looking at the link Paul sent me I found a message containing a link to a discussionon sourceforge. (About this exact problem).
My problem now is I dont get a heck of what they are talking about ...

So if there is anyone who would like to help me out, take a look at this page:
