Jason, Support for bind_textdomain_codeset() in Python's locale module (namely Modules/_localemodule.c) is dependent on an AC_CHECK_FUNC test. Unfortunately, this only looks in libc, where we (and other non-glibc platforms) rely on libintl for these functions, resulting in a false negative.
Since _locale is already linked against libintl, an easy fix is to just add ac_cv_func_bind_textdomain_codeset=yes to CYGCONF_ARGS. When you updated Python to 2.6.6, could you include this as well?
