[issue13241] Assertion failed in _PyUnicode_CheckConsistency during build of default branch on Mac OS X

[Oleg Plakhotnyuk]

New submission from Oleg Plakhotnyuk <olegus8 at gmail.com>:

Trying to build latest development revision:

localhost:repo family$ hg summary
parent: 73044:a985d733b3a3 tip
 #12753: Add support for Unicode name aliases and named sequences.
branch: default
commit: (clean)
update: (current)

Constantly getting this error:

./python.exe -SE -m sysconfig --generate-posix-vars
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
Assertion failed: (compact->utf8_length == 0), function _PyUnicode_CheckConsistency, file Objects/unicodeobject.c, line 399.
make: *** [sysconfig] Abort trap

However, tag v3.2.2 seems to build successfully.

OS: Mac OS X 10.6.8
GCC: 4.2.1

If you have troubles reproducing this issue, feel free to ask any information I can provide that can help.

Thank you in advance!
