Comment 1 for bug 417130

I'm a bit at a loss about what to do with this bug! Those "gcc" options that Python's trying to use are not ones that I mention anywhere in my code, so it must be part of Python, distutils, or setuptools that's pulling them in instead. Are you using a Python you compiled yourself, or one that came from something like MacPorts?

It looks like your version of "gcc" might have been upgraded beyond the version that your Python was compiled with. Doing a Google search for those errors, I can see it has to do with old versions of Python that use those "--" options, but I can't tell exactly which component you need to switch out or upgrade for this to work.
