[CentOS-devel] Need info regarding python recompilation

HI.

I am trying to introduce curses.menu patch into python package for 
CentOS 6. My intention is to compile with that patch to see what files 
are different (only few I guess) so I can try to create a separate 
python-curesemenu package.

Is it possible to compile python-2.6.5-3.el6_0.2.x86_64 package on fresh 
install of CentOS 6.0?

When I try with unchanged src.rpm, I get following error:

gcc -pthread -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasing -O2 -g -pipe -Wall 
-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector 
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC 
-fwrapv    -I. -IInclude -I./Include -I/usr/lib64/libffi-3.0.5/include 
   -c ./Modules/xxsubtype.c -o Modules/xxsubtype.o
gcc -pthread -shared  Modules/xxsubtype.o   -o Modules/xxsubtype.so
