I'm attempting to install Python 2.4 on an SGI Origin
2400 running Irix 6.5.22.  I'm using gcc (3.3) to
compile, and I've tried using three different make
programs (make, smake, and gmake[3.80]) but get the
same error during compilation during the building of
_socket.  There was not a problem building 2.2.1 on
this machine before, we never built 2.3 so I do not
know if the same problem existed.  Here is the relevant
entry from the make:
