Summary: Tru64 make install failure

Initial Comment:
"make install" of Python 2.5c2 fails under Tru64 Unix
V5.1. The failure is fixed by the simple patch below.
I.e., simply remove two lines from Makefile.pre.in.
Apparently the native make doesn't support comments
where commands are expected.

Not sure if this is appropriate here but it may at least indicate that the
issue is affecting more than one user. I've just come across this bug and
implementing the suggested patch fixed the issue for me. 
My company has a lot of DEC Alpha's (uname -a: OSF1 <hostname> V4.0 1530
alpha) that we want to run Python on. It would be great if this simple fix
was rolled into the main baseline in a future release.
