make[1]: Leaving directory `/extra/cvs/gnome2/libgsf'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Cause:

The problem is that the python bindings try to link with the library before it's installed.

Solution:

Drop to a shell, and perform a make install in the gsf subdirectory. The linking in the python subdirectory should then complete successfully.
