This line shows you are using the system Python at /usr/bin/python.  
Don't. It's no good at all for compiling anything. Run "configure"  
with the --with-python=/path/to/python flag to use a self-compiled  
Python.

I have never used the Fink Python. It is child's play to compile  
Python yourself (with the exception of Python 2.3.5 on OS X 10.4), so  
that's the way to go. Here's the instructions I work from:

http://www.zope.org/Members/jens/docs/Document.2003-12-27.2431

These are not written for OS X/i386, but I'd be surprised if they  
didn't work on both platforms.
