Try: ./configure --with-dyld --with-suffix=.x (or =.exe if you prefer)

You're running into the problem that you can't have two filenames that
differ only by case on HFS+: it's trying to move an executable named
"python" into a directory with an existing "Python" sub-directory.

--with-suffix will change the name of the executable.
After install, when it's moved again to /usr/local/bin (or whereever
you decide to put it), you can rename if with 'mw', or you can
make a symbolic link -- that way the link remains when you do a
new install.
