Some tips:

* you may not rename the binary of the interpreter after you have
   built it; use a symbolic link instead (e.g. copying "python"
   to "python2.2" and the running python2.2 will cause the AIX
   dynamic linker to dump core).

* building has to be done with:

   configure --without-gcc
   gmake CC=cc_r OPT="-O2 -qmaxmem=4000"
   gmake CC=cc_r OPT="-O2 -qmaxmem=4000" install

   (gmake == GNU make; this is important !)
