Comment (by cooljeanius):

 The failing code in the configure script appears to be:
 {{{
     echo "Spawning Python to generate test/testdata/rules.mk..."
     PYTHONPATH="$srcdir/python" \
         $PYTHON -m icutools.databuilder \
         --mode gnumake \
         --seqmode parallel \
         --src_dir "$srcdir/test/testdata" \
         > test/testdata/rules.mk
     if test "$?" != "0"; then
         AC_MSG_ERROR(Python failed to run; see above error.)
     fi
 }}}
