Not to mention which you'll get different responses depending on how heavily
the system is using VM, right?  If you are unlucky enough to build on a
memory-rich system then copy the python interpreter over to a memory-starved
system (or just run the interpreter while you have Emacs, StarOffice and
Netscape running), you may well run out of virtual memory a lot sooner than
your configure script thought.
