John Draper <crunch at shopip.com> (the famous Capt'n Crunch) reports that on his OpenBSD box, he can't build a debug version of Python 2.3(.3c1, but I doubt that matters) unless he tweaks the configure file to add -O3 to the C flags. That sounds fishy to me, but he insists that's how it is, and he's reproduced it from a clean tarball. Debugging it further doesn't really seem to be within John's power; the -O3 trick was found by his partner Steve who's temporarily unavailable.

The symptom is that without -O3, a "python" binary gets built but its use to run setup.py segfaults. Is there anyone here with access to an OpenBSD box who could try to reproduce this?

OpenBSD 3.3 builds both HEAD and r233c1 fine for me. This is code out of the anoncvs repository btw.
