[Pythonmac-SIG] Build Python source on OS X?

[Ross Karchner]

On repeated attempts to build python 1.6 from source (on OS X Public =
Beta and Developer tools), I get:
(quoting the last few lines of the compile and the ensuing error)

cc -g -O2 -OPT:Olimit=3D0 -I./../Include -I.. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -c -o =
unicodectype.o unicodectype.c
cc: Internal compiler error: program cpp-precomp got fatal signal 11
make[1]: *** [unicodectype.o] Error 1
make: *** [Objects] Error 2

Is there a known problem with Python's Unicode support and Mac OS X?
