py25-hashlib doesn't compile: "unable to execute -DNDEBUG"

[mjs@…]

There's some problem with py25-hashlib, a dependency of python25 (and py25-django-devel):

$ sudo port install py25-django-devel

Running "port install py25-hashlib" after receiving this error does seem to solve the problem, and install py25-hashlib successfully.

This seems to be a common problem with python-based ports. They somehow lose the value of $CC, but only sometimes. Clean py25-hashlib and try installing again.
