New submission from Garrett Cooper <yaneg...@gmail.com>:

When attempting to install and deinstall lang/python26 to run some unit tests 
for a change I was going to provide to the maintainer, I ran into this issue:

install -o root -g wheel -m 444 ./../Include/ucnhash.h 
/usr/local/include/python2.6
install -o root -g wheel -m 444 ./../Include/unicodeobject.h 
/usr/local/include/python2.6
install -o root -g wheel -m 444 ./../Include/warnings.h 
/usr/local/include/python2.6
install -o root -g wheel -m 444 ./../Include/weakrefobject.h 
/usr/local/include/python2.6
install  -o root -g wheel -m 444 pyconfig.h 
/usr/local/include/python2.6/pyconfig.h
Creating directory /usr/local/lib/python2.6/config
install: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/config exists but is not a directory
*** Error code 71

Stop in /scratch/freebsd/ports/lang/python26/work/Python-2.6.4/portbld.static.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /scratch/freebsd/ports/lang/python26.
*** Error code 1

The problem was caused by an incomplete install into ${prefix} [which I will 
take up with the FreeBSD project], but manifests itself because the -j value I 
specified, was too high. I say this because of another comment placed in a 
top-level Makefile at a previous job about compiling Python 2.4.2 with this 
particular goal (installing the modules) and race conditions.

I would provide a patch but I'm not sure what the issue could stem from, other 
than a race conditions with a busted install-sh and incomplete dependencies 
specified in Makefile.pre.in.

I'll provide more info if needed.

Reproducible via the following on FreeBSD, given a fast enough machine:

cd lang/python26; make deinstall clean; make -j8 all; make -j8 install
