[Distutils] numpy build fails in distutils code

[Jay Parlar]

I've tried asking this on the numpy list (a few times), but
unfortunately no response. Since the error *appears* to be inside
distutils, I thought maybe someone here would recognize it.

Anyway, I'm trying to build the lastest numpy RC with Python 2.5 on OS
X 10.3.9, and this is the fun that occurrs:

It's failing on this:

            result = config_cmd.try_run(tc,include_dirs=[python_include],
                                        library_dirs = default_lib_dirs)
            if not result:
                raise "ERROR: Failed to test configuration"


Here, config_cmd is a distutils.command.config.try_run


Does anyone recognize this error? I'm looking in the direction of the
"gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations" as
the root of my problem. Some weird combination of gcc3.3, Python2.5
and OS X 10.3.9 seems to be causing it.

I'd really appreciate any insight into this, but totally understand if
no one has any ideas :)
