Error compiling mod_python 3.0.3 with Apache 2.0.46 and python 2.2.1 on Solaris 2.8

We tried to install mod_python 3.0.3 as a DSO with Apache 2.0.46 and python 
2.2.1 on our Solaris 2.8 platform. However the compilation failed with the 
following error message:

Any ideas about how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
