Did you or can you build pygtk-2.3.97 from src or did it come from a
package manager? Could it be a gcc-3.4.2 problem with pygtk-2.3.97?
If so, the pygtk folks would probably like to hear about it.
If you have minute to test compile pygtk-2.3.97 and let me know, I
would be happy to forward the results on to the pygtk mailing list in
case of failure.
pygtk was built from source (I use gentoo and the ebuild does nothing out of
the ordinary).
I just re-emerged pygtk-2.3.97 and got the same result. I have attached the
full output from python setup.py build in both cases - if you want to sent it
to the pygtk people that would be great.

PS just for the pygtk people's info I have gentoo linux with:
gcc version 3.4.2 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.2-r1, ssp-3.4.1-1, pie-8.7.6.5)
kernel is gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r4
python-2.3.3
gtk+-2.4.9 (this actually gtk+-2.4.9-r1 onto gentoo therefore it has been
patched in some way).
