I've managed to compile everything in the python distribution except for Modules/ctypes/libffi/src/x86/ffi64.c.

There is an issue for this:

After compilation, there's a few tests that are consistently failing, mainly involved with floating point precision: testcmath, testmath and testfloat.

I think you have to compile with "-fp-model strict".

In general, please submit suspected bugs on http://bugs.python.org/ (after searching the archives) and post things like speed comparisons on python-list at python.org.
