Summary: make -f Makefile.pre.in boot fails in RedHat 7.0
Details: Running
make -f Makefile.pre.in boot
on RedHat 7.0 creates a broken Makefile
If you manually add:
CCC=g++
to Makefile.pre.in
All is well.
I do not have the depth of experience with python/make/sed/etc. to determine a more proper fix.
Sorry.

Comment:
Could you explain in what way the resulting Makefile is broken?
What are you trying to do with the Makefile?
I suspect this is a case of trying to do something that Makefile.pre.in was siply not designed to do.
I would recommend looking into distutils for building extensions, instead of messing with Makefile.pre.in.
I'll close this bug report unless I hear from you again in a week.

Comment:
make -f Makefile.pre.in boot runs without reporting an error. Unfortunately the resultant makefile is broken in the CCC is undefined.
So typing make results in the following:
$ make
fpic -Wall -D_DEBUG -D__WXGTK__ -I.. -I../spoon -I../simulator -Wl,--whole-archive -Wl,--no-whole-archive -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/local/include/python2.0 -I/usr/local/include/python2.0 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./SimulationPython.cpp
make: fpic: Command not found
make: [SimulationPython.o] Error 127 (ignored)
gcc -shared SimulationPython.o -Wall -D_DEBUG -D__WXGTK__ -I.. -I../spoon -I../simulator -Wl,--whole-archive ../spoon/libspoon.a ../simulator/libsimulation.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -o simumodule.so
gcc: SimulationPython.o: No such file or directory
make: *** [simumodule.so] Error 1
Here is complete the Makefile that was generated:
# Generated automatically from Makefile.pre by makesetup.
# Generated automatically from Makefile.pre.in by sedscript.
# Universal Unix Makefile for Python extensions
# =============================================
# Short Instructions
# ------------------
# 1. Build and install Python (1.5 or newer).
# 2. "make -f Makefile.pre.in boot"
# 3. "make"
# You should now have a shared library.
# Long Instructions
# -----------------
# Build *and install* the basic Python 1.5 distribution. See the
# Python README for instructions. (This version of Makefile.pre.in
# only withs with Python 1.5, alpha 3 or newer.)
# Create a file Setup.in for your extension. This file follows the
# format of the Modules/Setup.in file; see the instructions there.
# For a simple module called "spam" on file "spammodule.c", it can
# contain a single line:
# spam spammodule.c
# You can build as many modules as you want in the same directory --
# just have a separate line for each of them in the Setup.in file.
# If you want to build your extension as a shared library, insert a
# line containing just the string
# *shared*
# at the top of your Setup.in file.
# Note that the build process copies Setup.in to Setup, and then works
# with Setup. It doesn't overwrite Setup when Setup.in is changed, so
# while you're in the process of debugging your Setup.in file, you may
# want to edit Setup instead, and copy it back to Setup.in later.
# (All this is done so you can distribute your extension easily and
# someone else can select the modules they actually want to build by
# commenting out lines in the Setup file, without editing the
# original. Editing Setup is also used to specify nonstandard
# locations for include or library files.)
# Copy this file (Misc/Makefile.pre.in) to the directory containing
# your extension.
# Run "make -f Makefile.pre.in boot". This creates Makefile
# (producing Makefile.pre and sedscript as intermediate files) and
# config.c, incorporating the values for sys.prefix, sys.exec_prefix
# and sys.version from the installed Python binary. For this to work,
# the python binary must be on your path. If this fails, try
# make -f Makefile.pre.in Makefile VERSION=1.5 installdir=<prefix>
# where <prefix> is the prefix used to install Python for installdir
# (and possibly similar for exec_installdir=<exec_prefix>).
# Note: "make boot" implies "make clobber" -- it assumes that when you
# bootstrap you may have changed platforms so it removes all previous
# output files.
# If you are building your extension as a shared library (your
# Setup.in file starts with *shared*), run "make" or "make sharedmods"
# to build the shared library files. If you are building a statically
# linked Python binary (the only solution of your platform doesn't
# support shared libraries, and sometimes handy if you want to
# distribute or install the resulting Python binary), run "make
# python".
# Note: Each time you edit Makefile.pre.in or Setup, you must run
# "make Makefile" before running "make".
# Hint: if you want to use VPATH, you can start in an empty
# subdirectory and say (e.g.):
# make -f ../Makefile.pre.in boot srcdir=.. VPATH=..
# === Bootstrap variables (edited through "make boot") ===
# The prefix used by "make inclinstall libainstall" of core python
installdir= /usr/local
# The exec_prefix used by the same
exec_installdir=/usr/local
# Source directory and VPATH in case you want to use VPATH.
# (You will have to edit these two lines yourself -- there is no
# automatic support as the Makefile is not generated by
# config.status.)

Comment:
Aha, I see what you mean now. The brokenness of the Makefile is just that it doesn't define CCC, but uses it when compiling C++ source files. There's definitely a bug here: the makesetup script assumes that various filenames ending in .cc, .c++, .cxx etc. are C++ files and must be compiled with a compiler named $(CCC), but the make variable CCC isn't actually defined. There are scant references to it, but it's all commented out in the configure script. It appears that the correct macro is called CXX these days. Note, however, that the main Python configure script does not attempt to guess a default value for it; rather, you must pass it into configure with "--with-cxx=g++".
I'll cook up a patch set, stay tuned.

Try this patch:
http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=102691&group_id=5470
You must reconfigure Python using the --with-cxx flag, and reinstall it, then use the newly installed Makefile.pre.in.
Let me know if this works, then I will check in the patch and close the bug report.
