Cannot build debug version of mx-base

Hi,

I am trying to build a debug version of TextTools which I hope might provide
some insight on my (not quite working) tag tables.  I am on Mac OS X 10.5
and python 2.6.  I had previously installed the MacPorts version of the base
tools but uninstalled them before trying this build (macports does not seem
to have a +debug variant).

Following instructions from the web site I downloaded the source .tar.gz and
then:

[egenix-mx-base-3.1.2] $ sudo python setup.py mx_autoconf --enable-debugging
build

<...snip...>

Traceback (most recent call last):
