Summary: selectmodule won't compile on OS/X 10.3

Initial Comment:
I've tried many ways.

First, I though the define_xopen_source option in configure 
was incorrectly set. But setting it either to 'no' or 'yes' has 
no effect. (Well, at configuration time, if it's set to 'yes', then 
there's a problem... so I guess the good option is 'no'... 
anyway it's not what I wanted to talk about)!! 

I've tried on two different machines. I'm using on both OS/X 
10.3.2 and tried to make Python 2.3.3.

here's the dump :

I cannot repeat this, I tried with both the 2.3.3 tar distribution and 
with 2.3.3 from CVS, on two different machines (I tried both 
normal build and --with-framework).

So I think this has to do with one of (a) configure options, (b) 
nonstandard environment variables or (c) nonstandard tools 
installed in $PATH before the normal compiler/linker/etc.

As the command line looks fairly normal I suspect (a) or (c). 
Please try cleaning out everything and doing "./configure && 
make". If that fails try creating a new user with standard profile, 
etc. and trying it there.

Make sure you reset configure to its original state before trying 
this.

If you still experience the problem please reopen this bug and 
supply some details.
