configure.in supports the option '--with-fpectl' However, the "Configuration options and variables" section in the Python-2.3.3/README file mentions many options, but does not mention --with-fpectl I think the README should contain a few lines saying what the default setting is and why you may want to switch it on or off.

Logged In: YES user_id=6656 Waaa, the correct thing to is to remove the --with-fpectl from configure! I've been meaning to post to python-dev for a while now proposing the ripping out of this code. It's just not useful any more. At any rate, I am actively opposed to advertising its existence more widely.
