My Red Hat system has installed on it Pythong 2.4.3 and gdb 7.0.1.  Both of=
 these process the Python command "import itertools" without complaint.

On that system I built gdb 7.2 (with some local mods, but not in the Python=
 pieces).  That one blows up when I try that command:

(gdb) python import itertools
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/itertoolsmodule.so: undefined s=
ymbol: PyObject_SelfIter
Error while executing Python code.
(gdb) quit

Any ideas what's wrong or how to fix this?
