Is there a primer that will get me to where Anthony is? I tried the obvious CC=g++ ./configure --with-cxx=g++

That's what I've been doing.

and the build fails trying to compile Objects/genobject.c. From the sounds of Anthony's email he was at the point where it built and was having test problems.

The genobject.c error is new - I just fixed it, it was shallow.

The code is nearly building fine. there's an issue in _sre.c with some code that either returns a Py_UNICODE* or an SRE_CHAR* (unsigned char*) in a void*. The code probably needs a refactoring to deal with that. There's also Python/compile.c: In function ‘int compiler_compare(compiler*, _expr*)’: Python/compile.c:3065: error: invalid cast from type ‘void’ to type ‘cmpop_ty’ Python/compile.c:3075: error: invalid cast from type ‘void’ to type ‘cmpop_ty’ which I haven't looked at yet. Anyone else is welcome to fix these. To get past those two, I've been building just those two files with gcc, with "make CC=gcc Python/compile.o Modules/_sre.o"
