Looks like an issue with twisted.python.dir.

This error is just printed, yes? That's ok, it's just
checking to C if it's possible to compile a certain C
extension that is used as an optimization if available. If
build stage *fails*, that's a problem, but if it's just
printing this then it's fine.

Yes, the message is just printed. Setup goes on to complete 
the installation.

rptownsend: Also, try CVS.  I believe the cross-platform
support for t.p.dir has improved recently.

OK, since it's only printed, it's not a bug, merely messy
output, so I'm marking this closed. I added a little
informative message in setup.py to clarify this.
