Modify dist/setup.py.in around:

class PSPExtension(Extension):
    """a class that helps build the PSP extension"""
    def __init__(self, source_dir, include_dirs):
        Extension.__init__(self, "mod_python._psp",
                               [os.path.join(source_dir, source_file)
for source_file in
                                    ("psp_string.c", "psp_parser.c",
"_pspmodule.c")],
                                include_dirs=include_dirs
                           )

Add the required additional flags into the Extension definition. You
probably want to use extra_compile_args and extra_link_args. See:

  http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.4/dist/describing-extensions.html

After changes, you will need to run configure again.
