How do I compile Python 3.2 on NetBSD? Error code 127

Question

I'm getting strange errors when I try to compile Python 3.2 on NetBSD 5.1:

python ./Objects/typeslots.py < ./Include/typeslots.h > ./Objects/typeslots.inc
python: not found
*** Error code 127

What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to compile Python in the usual fashion:

./configure
make
su
make install

For some reason, you have to touch some files during the make process. When make quits with this Error 127, run:

touch ./Include/typeslots.h
touch ./Objects/type
touch ./Objects/typeslots.py
make

Inside of the Python source directory.

It will complain a second time:

./Python/makeopcodetargets.py ./Python/opcode_targets.h
env: python: No such file or directory

Again, just touch the offending files and run make again.

touch ./Python/makeopcodetargets.py
touch ./Python/opcode_targets.h
make
