Python make test fails

        I have downloaded python-1.1 and applied patch-1.1.1. I am compiling
on an AlphaServer 2100 running DEC-OSF/1 V3.0B, and have tried using
both the native C compiler and gcc. In both cases make test fails with
the following sort of message:

fiachra python-1.1 % make test
(cd Modules; make -f Makefile.pre Makefile)
`Makefile' is up to date.
for i in . Parser Objects Python Modules; do (echo $i; cd $i; make
Makefile); done
.

Stop.

        I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and figured out a
way of compiling a working version of python for DEC-OSF? The unaligned
access is only an inconvenience, and just means that somewhere in the
code accesses are not quadword aligned.
