./configure CC=gcc-4.2 --prefix=/dev/null --with-pydebug Why the phony prefix?

Heh, it's what I've always done - I think copied from other developers.

The dev guide suggests it:

http://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html#unix

There is normally no need to install your built copy of Python! The interpreter will realize where it is being run from and thus use the files found in the working copy. If you are worried you might accidentally install your working copy build, you can add --prefix=/dev/null to the configuration step.

Not that this is particularly a worry for me...

All the best,

Michael
