do you really need python 2.6.2? snow leopard has python 2.6.1 on
board and
there are no problems compiling/using postgresql with the python that
comes
with snow leopard.

you need the 64-bit version of python (x86_64) or try compile
postgresql 32-bit (i386)
asche:~ asche$ file `which python`

i have tried configuring an building with the same options as you and
it compiles without an error or warning
about python.
