No, I think it's a good idea if syntax errors in the standard library=20
cause "make install" to fail. But site-python is a bit of an exception.=20=

And especially in the case of Holier-Than-Thou-Tab-Usage checking.

I like Guido's suggestion of using '-tt' only in Lib proper and=20
compiling site-python without it (possibly with '-t', but maybe not=20
even that?). I haven't looked at whether this is doable with=20
compileall.py, though...
