New submission from Neil Schemenauer <nas-pyt...@arctrix.com>:

Lib/test/test_distutils.py crashes if Python was built in a directory other 
than the source directory.  Using a separate build directory is handy if you 
are building Python with different sets of configure options since you only 
need one copy of the source. For example, in the source directory:

$ mkdir build-opt
$ cd build-opt
$ ../configure
$ make
$ cd ..
$ mkdir build-debug
$ cd build-debug
$ ../configure --with-pydebug
$ make 

I fixed a similar problem in rev 69304 but now it is broken again.  I get:

/tmp/tmpbxrmiB/xxmodule.c:17:20: error: Python.h: No such file or directory

Probably it is looking in the wrong directory for Python.h (assuming that the 
cwd is the top-level directory of the source).
