That gets past the first problem. Now during the initial
compile, I get:

c++   -o python \
                Modules/python.o \
               
-Wl,-rpath,/home/faculty/dreed/pub/Python-2.3/lib -L.
-lpython2.3 -lsocket -lnsl -lrt -ldl  -lpthread   -lm  
ld: fatal: option -dn and -P are incompatible
ld: fatal: Flags processing errors
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [python] Error 1


I can't find those flags in the Makefile to try removing one
of them.
