Summary: Digital Unix build fails to create ccpython.o

Initial Comment:
I am attempting to install Python 2.3.2 on Digital Unix 
V40.E (Revision 1091). The make goes nearly all the way 
through, then crashes:

Can't open Modules/ccpython.o (No such file or 
directory)

The same thing happens with Python 2.3.1 and 2.1.3.

The configure command I used was

./configure --with-cxx=/usr/bin/cc --without-gcc

(I know what you're thinking: try it with gcc. Well, I 
tried building gcc, and it gave me even more problems 
than Python.)

The Makefile is attached.

Thank you for any enlightenment you can provide.

The build finally worked when I used the second configure 
command you recommended:

./configure --without-cxx --without-gcc

Thank you for your help!

This is what happened when I ran make test:

212 tests OK.
10 tests failed:
    test_fcntl test_format test_nis test_openpty test_poll 
test_popen
    test_popen2 test_pty test_select test_tempfile
33 tests skipped:
    test_aepack test_al test_audioop test_bsddb test_bsddb3 
test_bz2
    test_cd test_cl test_curses test_dl test_email_codecs 
test_gdbm
    test_gl test_imageop test_imgfile test_linuxaudiodev 
test_locale
    test_macfs test_macostools test_mpz test_normalization
    test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_plistlib test_rgbimg
    test_scriptpackages test_socket_ssl test_socketserver
    test_sunaudiodev test_timeout test_urllibnet test_winreg
    test_winsound
Ask someone to teach regrtest.py about which tests are
expected to get skipped on osf1V4.
*** Exit 1
Stop.

Fortunately, make install worked anyway.
Thanks again!

Did you try either of these:
  ./configure --without-gcc
  ./configure --without-cxx --without-gcc

?
