Those aren't the issue. ./configure and make handle them just fine.

The issue is the Korean and Japanese codecs which are set up by Python
distutils using I don't recall which compiler, but not necessarily the
one configure finds.

This is known to cause problems on Solaris which is the subject of

search I posted earlier. In particular, see the thread starting at
