In case you want to compile anything else in the future, like, say a 
Python database module for a database that sucks less :-P ...

You should be able to make distutils *not* issue "-z text" at all.

Here's a workaround I'd try:

distutils parses a Makefile where it gets its commands from - it is 
located at $ROOT/lib/python$VERSION/config/Makefile.

Open it and search for "-z text", then remove it.

HTH & HAND,
