Oh my gosh.
I feel *really* *really* *stupid*

What I have is a set of shell scripts (based on the LFS project) that
formats a partition, builds enough of a system on it to chroot into it
and build a very basic bootable system from which I can cvs checkout my
spec files and bootstrap it with RPM.

This is what I do whenever I want to upgrade my toolchain (stuff that
isn't terribly safe to update on a live system).

My problem with Python 2.3 was I had hardcoded --with-python=2.3 into
the script that builds rpm.

Stupid stupid stupid.
It all works fine now - and I've fixed that stupidity in the script so
it will never happen again.
