Strange... Could it be you have a second copy of the gcc and friends  
installed (maybe through fink?) and are picking up some of that? Or any  
funny environment variables that somehow cause the linker and/or gcc to  
behave funny?

To test things like this I have an extra user on my system (short name:  
luser; long name: Bill Gates:-) who has no special permissions, no  
funny .profile, etc.

This looks like you made a mistake with gensuitemodule at some point in  
the past, and dropped the OSA suite for some application straight in  
site-packages (in stead of one directory below). Your best bet is to  
completely clean out /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and redo the  
"make frameworkinstall".
