Sure,
For everyone else on the list were talking about these two lines:
    export NAN_PYTHON_BINARY ?= $(NAN_PYTHON)/bin/python$(NAN_PYTHON_VERSION)
    export NAN_MXTEXTTOOLS ?= $(shell $(NAN_PYTHON_BINARY) -c 'import mx; print mx.__path__[0]')/TextTools/mxTextTools/mxTextTools.so 

If you don't have it installed it wont work :)
You can get it here... http://www.egenix.com/files/python/mxTextTools.html

(Note: If your saking what mxTextTools is used for I'd have to
look it up I believe it had something to do with vrml import? and some other
stuff)

If you take a look at blender/source/Makefile
It appends NAN_MXTEXTTOOLS to the list of python libraries.
mxTextTools was previously a static lib and it just worked but
the only way it builds now is as a shared lib.  So we made it work with
the new system.  We should probably add in some error checking

Try both $(NAN_PYTHON)/bin/python$(NAN_PYTHON_VERSION)
and $(NAN_PYTHON)/bin/python

Also if whatever is put into NAN_MXTEXTTOOLS is not a file unset it or
something.
