That rebuilds the python C library interface stuff I believe, but 
doesn't have anything at all to do with the system C compiler.  There 
is nothing wrong with your system C compiler.

If you look at the Zope port there are a bunch of FreeBSD-specific 
patches and some additional magic is performed after the build that 
would also be FreeBSD-centric.  I suspect your problems perhaps stem 
from the fact that installing Zope by hand doesn't give you these 
patches.
