as suggested by Johnny Lam -don't try to build the "locale" module - it doesn't work anyway -pull up a fix from Python CVS to get more consistent math exceptions (eg pow(1e-200,2) vs. math.pow(1e-200,2)) This will be part of 2.2.1.
-don't even try to build the curses modules - its failure is detected during build but this causes a lot of noise
