After trying various long-running tests on various machines, I have determined the following: 1) The culprit appears to be binutils 2.13, not gcc 3.2. If I use binutils 2.13 with gcc 3.2 or gcc 3.1.1, Python does not install. If I use binutils 2.12.1 with gcc 3.2 or gcc 3.1.1, Python installs. What was misleading me yesterday was some kind of version skew, perhaps caused by compiling gcc 3.2 with binutils 2.13; when I recompiled gcc 3.2 after installing binutils 2.12.1, all was well. 2) The little dynamic-linker test program is a reliable indicator for this problem. I have filed a binutils bug report. I will also file a sourceforge bug report for python, suggesting that the dynamic-linker test program should be included as part of the configuration process, as an early warning against this problem. Thanks for all the help!
