Make test fails on time module with Python 1.5.2/Linux2/EGCS! Help!

After doing a "make; make test", I get a failure in testing test_time.py. 
Here's the output when I run the test on its own:

tradecenter:/usr/src/python# python Lib/test/test_time.py
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "Lib/test/test_time.py", line 3, in ?
    time.altzone
AttributeError: altzone

Other global variables in the time module fail (eg., daytime):

tradecenter:/usr/src/python/Modules# python
Python 1.5.2 (#1, May 11 1999, 18:30:09)  [GCC egcs-2.91.60 19981201 
(egcs-1.1.1  on linux2
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import time; time.daytime
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: daytime
>>>

Maybe Python has a problem with EGCS? That said, the compilator does not 
seem to output any errors (I'd be only happy to forward the make output 
to anyone interested.) I have not tried making with plain GCC.
