The above all fails with this error:

checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

What gives?

Fails due to missing 'ar':

gcc -c -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I./Include  -DPy_BUILD_CORE -DBUILD=`cat buildno` -o Modules/getbuildinfo.o ./Modules/getbuildinfo.c
rm -f libpython2.3.a
ar cr libpython2.3.a Modules/getbuildinfo.o

Huh?  I see no failures in the output.  Though I also see no test
log.  Seems a xenofarm bug.  The shlog says:

2002-09-9 13:07:41: Begin make test
./create-response.sh: r/${task}log.txt: ambiguous redirect
2002-09-9 13:07:41: FAIL: make test

Even more mysterious: shlog says:

2002-09-9 17:03:30: FAIL: make

This one has two failed tests: test_dbm and test_socket.  More
details:

test test_dbm crashed -- dbm.error: (13, 'Permission denied')

Sound like a setup error.  Maybe a test file from a previous run is
remaining?

test test_socket failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/mp/slaskdisk/tmp/xenofarm/python/taylor/buildtmp/dist/python/dist/src/Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 491, in testRecv
    self.fail("Error trying to do non-blocking recv.")
  File "/mp/slaskdisk/tmp/xenofarm/python/taylor/buildtmp/dist/python/dist/src/Lib/unittest.py", line 260, in fail
    raise self.failureException, msg
AssertionError: Error trying to do non-blocking recv.

I'm guessing that the time.sleep(0.1) in _testRecv() is too short.
Can someone with access to this machine try this test with a sleep of
1.0 instead?

And what's up with this?
