If you are willing to build from source, then I have a workaround:

    $ # save attached patch to /tmp/pyconfig.h.diff
    $ # change directory to top of Python 2.4.1 source tree
    $ configure
    $ patch </tmp/pyconfig.h.diff
    $ make

Hopefully, this will keep you going until I finally find some time to
debug this problem.
