Python25 fails to build with undefined symbols:

Log of "sudo port install python25 > install.log 2>&1"

Reverting the python25 portfile to revision 30877 works for me.

duplicate of #13322?

I agree this looks like a dupe of 13322. This patch works for PPC hardware, as it drops back to the 3.3 compiler but since it doesn't build Intel/Universal binaries, it's not a complete solution. It may, however, point to the real solution for someone more up to speed on how compilers work.

The changes between 2.5.1_2 and 2.5.1_3 appear to be configuration flags.
