This is a separate issue from what you originally posted to the 
pythonmac-sig.  Apple's autoconf is indeed broken, but I hadn't seen it 
because I'm using Fink's version.  The proposed fix from osxgnu os not 
quite right, it should be:

exit (setpgrp (1,1) == -1 ? 0 : 1);])]

distutils should not have to work around a vendor's broken autoconf.  
Apple needs to fix this.
