I too have encountered this problem while building Python 2.4 with  
MacPorts.

My Mac's filesystem is case sensitive.

Mr. Beard, is your filesystem case sensitive?

There is logic in configure.in (and thus configure) that tests  
whether the filesystem is case INsensitive.  On most Macs this test  
will evaluate to true but on my Mac it will evaluate to false.  Could  
this difference be the source of the build failure and the fact that  
some aspects of the build expect "python.exe" to exist?
