Thomie (Thomas M?) pointed out that there may have been a "are-validating" make file in my /mk/ dir that could have been messing with things.

i've gotten a build i'm happy with, i'm now seeing if i can tweak it to have the otool -L output favor stuff in /usr/lib (ie mac standard stuff) vs userland overlays for some basic linker stuff

Hmm, did you ever work out what was going on here? I've built with both
Python 2 and Python 3 Sphinx installations and had no trouble in either
case. That being said, this was on Linux so this data point may not mean
much on OS X.
