How do I build Python 2.3.4 on OpenBSD 3.5?

[Noah]

I'm getting configure warnings and make errors when I try to 
build Python 2.3.4 under OpenBSD 3.5. I don't see anything in the
README under "Platform specific note" for OpenBSD. I tried 
opening the Python tar file using gtar and I tried using gmake 
just to make sure there wasn't anything weird going on there 
(I know that using BSD tar when building Zope used to cause 
problems, so I first thought I might be having a similar problem.
I'm using gcc version 2.95.3 20010125 (prerelease, propolice).
That's the default that comes with OpenBSD. I didn't change anything.

Has anyone else had similar problems?
I'd appreciate any advice. Hopefully this is a simple mistake...

Here is a clip of the configure warnings that I get:
	configure: WARNING: ncurses.h: present but cannot be compiled
	configure: WARNING: ncurses.h: check for missing prerequisite
headers?

Here is what I see when I try make:
    bash-2.05b# gmake
    gcc -pthread -c -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I./Include  -DPy_BUILD_CORE -o

    /usr/include/sys/event.h:55: syntax error before `u_short'
    gmake: *** [Modules/python.o] Error 1

Here is a clip from the config.log file showing the error for select:
