    Brett> Skip Montanaro discovered that if you built Python in a subdirectory of
    Brett> the source directory (e.g., source in ``source/`` and you are building in
    Brett> ``source/build/``) the .o files are put in the wrong place (they use
    Brett> ``source/`` as the root directory to place things instead of
    Brett> ``source/build/``).  Skip resolved his issue by doing a ``make distclean``
    Brett> and then running ``../configure``.

Actually, no, I haven't yet resolved this.  Someone else said 'make
distclean' seemed to work for them.  For the time being I'm just using two
CVS checkouts and building in the source tree.  I need to see if a bug
report needs filing...
