Help compiling python

Dear Sirs,

We are experiencing some difficulty compiling
the good ship Python 1.1.1 on our little NCR svr4
multi-486 box.

Don't ask me what it is because I don't know,
but ./configure doesn't complain in the slightest.

Symptom:

Having run ./configure we dutifully run make......

Everything seems to proceed normally until, while
in the Modules subdirectory, it starts screaming about:

Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
accept libModules.a(socketmodule.o)
recv "
socket " etc.
send
connect
listen
..... etc.

It dies with:
ld: python: fatal error: symbol referencing errors.

Now, we've tried including sys/socket.h, we've tried
many things to no avail.

Any wise suggestions?

Thanks,

Morgan & Co.
