Thanks for the correction..  I figured that out a few minutes after I  
sent my last email.  8-)

It does use distutils, and that's why I was confused.  I further  
noted that other packages (e.g., Twisted-2.0.1) had the same problem  
-- the distutils generated linker path is appearing as "-L.", causing  
any extension builds to break.  By manually replacing "-L." with "-L/ 
usr/lib/python2.4/config" in the link lines I was able to get these  
packages built.

This suggests a problem with distutils, but that's as far as I've had  
time to investigate.

Thanks,
John
