This typically results of a problem with the configure script and
NeXT's somewhat braindamaged cpp (if you want the details, mail me,
I'm not going into details on this here). To fix this, try running
configure like so (asuming some Bourne'ish shell)
$ CPP="cc -E" ./configure
and recompile python. This should fix it. Alternatively, if you
have a "real" gcc (other then NeXT's crippeled version) installed,
try
$ CC=gcc ./configure
this will give you other minor problems, like missing prototypes for
chdir() and other stuff from unistd.h, but this is trivial to fix.
