I configured Python 2.4.1 as follows 
 
../Python-2.4.1/configure \ 
    --prefix=/home/cludwig/C++/gcc4.0/Python-2.4.1 \ 
    --with-cxx=/opt/gcc/gcc-4.0.0/bin/g++ --enable-shared \ 
    --enable-unicode --with-signal-module \ 
    --with-universal-newlines --with-doc-strings  
 
on a i686-pc-linux-gnu system. make fails when linking the 
python binariy due to an undefined reference to 
`__gxx_personality_v0'. In fact, configure set 
 
  CC=             gcc -pthread 
  CXX=            /opt/gcc/gcc-4.0.0/bin/g++ -pthread 
  LINKCC=         $(PURIFY) $(CC) 
 
but the python executable needs to be linked with $(CXX). 
(Note the `--with-cxx' option in the configure command line.) 
 
I did not observe this problem with Python 2.4.0 / gcc 3.4.2. 
This seems to be a regression w.r.t. PR #569668 that was 
closed as fixed on 2002-12-03. 
 
I can submit config.log and the output of make on request.

Oops, this is a duplicate of PR #1189330. It was inadvertently 
submitted when I clicked on "reload" in my browser whereupon it 
resent the formula data. 
 
Sorry about that.
