trying to build python-2.4.4 from ports/lang/python24, i get the
following messages, where earlier versions have been compiled and
installed w/o problems:

the 'readline' extension builds fine, though:

define for wchars:

The ncurses problem is already known and proven as a problem of FreeBSD. 
And its ports have a workaround applied. (-D__wchar_t=wchar_t as you
used.)

The nis compilation error can be raised when your base system was built
with NO_NIS=yes option.  But build process shouldn't segfault even after
nis warning.

So, can you provide a backtrace of the core dumped for more investigation?
