You have to clean up leftover cruft after the reconfigure. Try

make clean
make

If you still get the error, do this instead:

mv Modules/Setup Modules/Setup.old
make distclean
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python/ --with-threads
cp Modules/Setup.old Modules/Setup
make

and you should have no problems.
