It looks like this message is misguiding you a bit.  If you look at
the checks that configure does, you'll notice that you need Python.h

If you installed python in a non-standard* prefix, you must help
configure by doing something like

   CPPFLAGS='-I /opt/python/include' ./configure

see INSTALL.txt.  You may want to report a bug against the gcc or
python package; if you install python, I think that gcc should find
the header file.

Good luck,
Jan.
