Can you post a bug report to SourceForge and include 
the full output from
make there?

Also, have there been any unusual configure warnings?

Reinhold

No: nothing unusual that I can see in configure output -- I 
can post config.log if necessary.

Really strange...

Can you please
1.'file Objects/unicodeobject.o' (report its output)
2. rm Objects/unicodeobject.o
3. make  (report the precise command used to rebuild
unicodeobject.o)
4. Invoke the command detected in 3), adding --save-temps
5. Attached a compressed version of the resulting
unicodeobject.i

The previous stuff was based on the bz2 source file.

On a hunch I downloaded the tgz source, which compiled like 
a dream.

I can only assume that there must be a difference between the 
two source files (at least as downloaded a couple of weeks 
ago immediately after release for bz2 and now for tgz). 
Unfortunately the original bz2 file has been deleted.

Anyway: the problem has "gone away".

There is no output from nm unicodeobject.o -- the file is there 
(441 bytes, no permissions problems). See script.txt.

Do you have an Objects/unicodeobject.o in your build tree?
If yes, can you please do

nm Objects/unicodeobject.o > unicodesyms.txt

and attach the resulting file, as well as

ar tv libpython2.4.a|grep unicode

and report the output of this command? TIA.
