I fixed out-of-tree builds recently (I can reproduce your error on a
2.9.4 tarball, but not with the 2.9 branch):

  http://svn.zope.org/Zope/branches/2.9/setup.py?rev=69978&r1=69111&r2=69978

http://svn.zope.org/Zope/branches/2.10/setup.py?rev=69979&r1=69113&r2=69979


It looks as though I forgot to port that fix to the trunk, however.
