[Python-3000] failed to compile Python-3.0b1 with gcc-4.3.0: Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams

[nirinA raseliarison]

hello all,
i tried to build Python3.0b1 but the make process hangs
while running:

./python -E ./setup.py build

breaking the building with ctrl-C, i have:


<output>
gcc -pthread  -Xlinker -export-dynamic -o python
                        Modules/python.o
                        libpython3.0.a -lpthread -ldl  -lutil   -lm
^CFatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams

"""#"
KeyboardInterrupt
make: *** [sharedmods] Error 134
</output>

another make procedure also hangs, and with ctrl-C, i get this:

i have similar error when building Python-3.0a5 with gcc-4.3.0.

with gcc-4.2.3, however, the compilation succeeded, and
apparently it works fine:

#./python Lib/idlelib/idle.py

<output>

but the following modules are not built:

To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.

i don't have sqlite3 installed.
but what about _gestalt and _multiprocessing?
what to do in order to build them?

Python-2.5.2 and Python-3.0a1 are both successfully compiled
and work fine with gcc-4.3.0.
the building system is:

# cat /proc/version
<output>
Linux version 2.6.25.20080505 (root at nirinA) (gcc version 4.3.0 (GCC) ) #1 Mon May 5 15:44:45 EAT 2008
</output>

surely there is something missing with my system but i don't see what.
i've checked in pythonrun.c, the initstdio function initializes
some encodings. does Python-3.0b1 require some encodings to be installed?
as far as i can tell, the kernel supports utf_8 and iso-8859-1.
i will appreciate any help.

best regards,

nirinA
