py25-libxml2 failed to build with ValueError

I've tried the usual tricks of cleaning and retrying but this error persists:

This is the first of two tickets recently filed (next is #17668) with that error message

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

I can't reproduce it here. What version of python25 do you have installed and do you have the python_select port installed with it set for python25?

port installed python25
ls -l /opt/local/bin/python

The 'clean and retry' workaround should no longer be needed as of MacPorts 1.7.0.

What's interesting is that the section of distutils/sysconfig.py where this is occurring, is code that is processing MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET. It's splitting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET on '.' so should be comparing, eg. 10 to 10 and 5 to 5. Instead it is failing to convert what it gets from the split to an integer, so it must not be seeing 10.5 in that.

cfg_target should be coming from ${prefix}/lib/python2.5/config/Makefile and cur_target from the environment (which is set by port). For anyone who is experiencing this issue, can you attach that Makefile to this ticket for review?
