On naked Darwin you may want to add the configure option
"--disable-toolbox-glue" to disable the glue code for the Carbon
interface modules. The modules themselves are currently only built
if you add the --enable-framework option, see below.

You may want to try the configure option "--enable-framework" which
installs Python as a framework. The location can be set as argument
to the --enable-framework option (default /Library/Frameworks). You may

want to manually install a symlink in /usr/local/bin/python to the

For all platforms, it's important that the build arrange to define the
preprocessor symbol NDEBUG on the compiler command line in a release
build of Python (else assert() calls remain in the code, hurting
release-build performance). The Unix, Windows and Mac builds already
do this.
