Well, that escalated quickly :-)

I think I should clarify my use case that resulted in raising this bug.

1. Create a fresh hg clone, say, ~/hg/cpython-3.2.
2. Make it readonly: `zfs set readonly=on tank/home/cpython/hg/cpython-3.2`
3. cd /tmp/cpython-3.2-build
4. /home/cpython/hg/cpython-3.2/configure --srcdir=/home/cpython/hg/cpython-3.2/configure

So, my patches address that use case.  The thing I like about the approach above is that I can set the source directory to readonly immediately -- I don't have to do an intermediate ./configure in that directory in order to generate a Makefile so I can `make touch`.  (Side note: I'm almost certain `make touch` wouldn't work for my use case.)

Richard: what was your use case?  What steps did you take that resulted in getting typeslots.inc and _sysconfigdata.py written to?

....although I just tried an out-of-tree build with 'default' using the exact steps above and got the same error with _sysconfigdata.py.

Martin: I think I understand your arguments, and I (think) I agree with them.  Especially your last point with regards to always running ASDLGEN.

I think I'm +1 on reverting and trying the '-' approach originally used by Neil.
