Well, I have gotten it to install.

I chose to install without shared library support. Still curious as to the
reasons behind it.

Final results, for this round:

174 tests OK.
1 test failed:
    test_largefile
18 tests skipped:
    test_al test_cd test_cl test_curses test_dl test_email_codecs
    test_gl test_imgfile test_linuxaudiodev test_minidom test_nis
    test_pyexpat test_sax test_socket_ssl test_socketserver
    test_sunaudiodev test_winreg test_winsound
4 skips unexpected on linux2:
    test_minidom test_linuxaudiodev test_pyexpat test_sax
make: *** [test] Error 1
