Hmm,

If so, what is the procedure to get around it?
How can I compile Python then? I tried to just
remove @pkgpath line from PKLIST, but compilation
failed for another reasons.

Where should I look for to find out what has been
done in ports tree version of Python 2.4.2 source
to make in compilable in v3.8.
