make

The output of make ends with:

  No such file or directory: python
  *** Error exit code 127

  Stop.

I'll upload the full output of configure and make.

Right. Python.asdl and the output files that depend on it
have the same timestamps in the tarball. This is because
they get updated and all checked in in the same svn
revision. When the export is done, the timestamps are set to
the same time. 

Possible solutions:
  - make ignores this failure. Bad, because it might stop
_real_ errors.
  - make catches lack of Python, and skips the step. Ugly,
and hard to do in a platform-compatible way.
  - I change the 'welease.py' script to adjust the
timestamps of the files before making the release tarballs.
 This is so nasty it makes me sick. But I can't see a better
option.

If you put a '-' at the start of the line in the Makefile,
it should build ok. Make it:

$(AST_H) $(AST_C): $(AST_ASDL) $(ASDLGEN_FILES)
        -$(ASDLGEN) $(AST_ASDL)

Obviously there's some issues with timestamps on the files
and it's trying to rebuild the file unnecessarily...
