Running the tests under current 2.7/2.8 branches with Python 2.3.5 on  
OS X 10.4.3 things run fine:

--------------------------------------------------

local/zope/opt/Zope-2.8-branch/lib/python DateTime

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 32 tests in 23.396s

OK
---------------------------------------------------

However, I am noticing that on the current Zope 2.9 branch, trying to  
build the software fails completely. The "configure" script works  
fine, but the "make" step does not seem to do anything at all. There  
is no error output, and all that's in the directory set as the -- 
prefix is the makefile:

----------------------------------------------------
  tiny:/usr/local/zope/opt/Zope-2.9-branch jens$ make
"/usr/local/bin/python2.4" "/usr/local/zope/src/Zope-2.9-branch/ 
setup.py" \
             build_ext -i
running build_ext

Zope built. Next, do 'make install' (or 'make instance'
to run a Zope instance directly from the build directory).

tiny:/usr/local/zope/opt/Zope-2.9-branch jens$ ls
makefile
-----------------------------------------------------

INSTALL.txt still shows the "configure/make/make install"  
instructions and I was under the impression this was still supposed  
to work. How does everyone else build 2.9?
