Phew, 2.0 is really old, the last time that code was compiled was 
probably under OSX 10.0,
maybe even Public Beta...

What you could try is add -flat_namespace to the linker flags. I don't 
remember
exactly where to set it for 2.0, but if you find the spot where the
"-U _environ" is set that would be a good place to try it.

Hmm, but I'm not sure whether that is enough, I seem to remember there
was magic for linking the main application too.

A wholly different idea: could you install MacOSX 10.1 plus the
accompanying developer tools on a spare partition? I think there's a
reasonable chance that 10.1 will be able to build Python 2.0 out of the
box.
