[Pyobjc-dev] building libffi with CVS setup.py fails

[Jim T. <jw...@On...>]

I'm trying to build the current CVS on a 10.2.6 machine
w/December tools and Python 2.3b1.  I put the absolute path to
the tree from gcc-libffi-snapshot20030119-patched.tar.gz in
setup.py and tried to do: 'sudo python setup.py install' but it
stops with:
  ld: build/libffi/lib/libffi.a(darwin_closure.o) has local
  relocation entries in non-writable section (__TEXT,__text)
  error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

If I follow the INSTALL steps in the libffi tree, I appear to
be able to build/test libffi correctly.  Where am I going wrong
with the pyobjc setup.py?
