os x make install dies when compiling zipfile.py on 2.5 and 2.4.4

[stephen.ayotte at gmail.com]

I've experienced the exact same with 2.4.4.

uname -a on the machine I built it on (SunOS 5.7, binaries should be
forwards-compatible with 5.7-5.10):
SunOS hostname-here 5.7 Generic_106541-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4

And the machine on which it was being installed (because it has write
access to the NFS mount I want it installed on):
SunOS hostname-here 5.10 Generic_118822-25 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210

I only *just* hit this and haven't dug further for a solution. If
anyone knows about this please respond, otherwise I'll post any
progress I make.
