Hi Noel, Which version of gcc are you using? A quick check of google for the unterminated argument list in macro error makes it look like that could be an issues (on my systems, it works for gcc-3.4.5 and 4.0.2; but that's using make instead of python distutils). It looks to me like a c preprocessor issue, rather than something in Crystal.c; specifically dealing with the PRINTF macro in Feedback.h (although it does seem a little strange seeing special characters in a logfile...).
You could try 1. checking that you've got all of your development packages installed (you probably do, but it never hurts to check); 2. upgrading (or downgrading) gcc; or 3. customize setup/rules.generic for your system, and build with make (personal preference is for building ext dependencies from ext-0_99rc1-src.tgz as well, but this shouldn't make a difference).
