Check the RUNPY definition in the Makefile, you should start python.exe using

DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=$PWD ./python.exe

(Assuming your running from the build directory, adjusting this for other situations should be easy)

Use the '--with-framework-name' option to configure, this enables you to build the framework with an alternate name and therefore have two framework installs side-by-side.

I use this to have a regular python build as well as a --with-pydebug build.
