Summary: Build on a New Machine Needs Pre-existing Libs??

Details: It seems that when one tries to build and install Python on a
machine that had no previous versions of Python on it, part of the build
and install procedure runs a Python program that imports several modules.
The problem is that at that point, no Python library or PYTHONHOME has yet
been defined and the script fails. As a result, it seems necessary to first
install a precompiled binary version of Python before one can successfully
build and install Python from scratch.
