[Python-Dev] Broken build

[Skip Montanaro]

Based upon Barry's speculation that something might have changed in the
configure process I mv'd my config.cache out of the way before configuring
(like Barry, after a cvs up -A).  I was a bit surprised to see these
changes:

    % diff config.cache.save config.cache | less
    185a186
    > ac_cv_pthread_system_supported=${ac_cv_pthread_system_supported=no}
    190c191
    < ac_cv_sizeof_fpos_t=${ac_cv_sizeof_fpos_t=12}
    ---
    > ac_cv_sizeof_fpos_t=${ac_cv_sizeof_fpos_t=16}
    194c195
    < ac_cv_sizeof_off_t=${ac_cv_sizeof_off_t=4}
    ---
    > ac_cv_sizeof_off_t=${ac_cv_sizeof_off_t=8}

Given that my system hasn't changed in the past couple of days, I wonder why
it thought the default size of some of these offsets should change.  (New
update of configure, perhaps?)  Still, I had no problem building on my
Mandrake 8.0 system.
