Does current Python2.3CVS work on FreeBSD5.1 or FreeBSD5-current?

[PieterB]

Hi, 

I was wondering if someone could acknowledge that Python2.3CVS runs on
FreeBSD5.1 or FreeBSD5-current.

I had some problems compiling Python2.3CVS on FreeBSD5.0, and I would
like to know if it FreeBSD5.0 or Python related. I didn't get it to
compile with threads. I got the following error:

I asked Guido about it and he told me:
