It looks like the problem is having both sys/time.h and sys/select.h included when both XOPENSOURCE and XOPENSOURCEEXTENDED are defined. SYSSELECTWITHSYSTIME is not defined in pyconfig.h so configure is detecting the problem. It's just that SYSSELECTWITHSYSTIME is not user anywhere in the code. Something like this will get things a lot farther. ------------------------ --- pyport.h.old 2003-04-17 13:17:24.000000000 -0700 +++ pyport.h 2003-04-22 08:51:43.230240009 -0700 @@ -115,7 +115,9 @@ #ifdef HAVESYSSELECTH +#ifdef SYSSELECTWITHSYSTIME #include <sys/select.h> +#endif #endif /* !HAVESYSSELECTH */ ------------------------

Well after patching pyport.h for the sys/select problem, I had errors because of missing u_int and u_long data types. Patch configure.in, pyconfig.h.in, pyport.h. Now u_char, and u_short. Patch configure.in, pyconfig.h.in, pyport.h. some more. Now missing defines of NI_MAXHOST, NI_NUMERICHOST, & NI_MAXSERV. At that point I said to myself "This is nuts, 2.2.2 worked fine".

So I backed out all my other patches and added this one.

Builds fine now.
