I am similarly having problems compiling DCOracle2 with
python2.3.3. My system is Linux (RH 7.3) with Python 2.3.3 built from
source. I have previously built DCOracle2-1.3b on the same machine,
same Oracle database, but with python 2.1 (installed from a source
rpm). The relevant portions of the make output are below. If you look
at the directories from which I am building, it looks like I have
different DCOracle2 versions but the second one is simply a copy of
the first because I needed to leave the original DCOracle binary in
place to use with my Zope 2.6.x servers.

The compilation error with 2.3.3 is:

make || ./builderrors)
make[1]: Entering directory
`/its/software/stow/zope-2.7-products/DCOracle2/src'
gcc -pthread -fPIC -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes

		---------------------------------------
There were errors building the dco2 module.  This could be because of
a coding error in the dco2 module, or because your Oracle environment is
not set up properly.    

  
The analogous section from my successful compile is: 

make || ./builderrors)
make[1]: Entering directory
`/its/software/stow/zope-products/DCOracle2-1.3b/src'
gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DHAVE_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT

gcc -shared  ./dco2.o  -L/ora/product/8.1.7/lib/ -lclntsh
-Wl,-rpath,/ora/product/8.1.7/lib  -o ./dco2.so
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/its/software/stow/zope-products/DCOracle2-1.3b/src'
cp src/dco2.so DCOracle2
  
I have a suspicion that I need to recompile python, but not sure what
is wrong with it. I know it seems not to have found some Tcl libraries
when I made it (probably not related to this problem). But I am
wondering about the difference in gcc options that configure seems to
have set for my DCOracle compiles, especially pthread and
HAVE_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT. I am also wondering why @DEFS@ was not
substituted in the failed compile. In the successful one, this seems
to have ended up as HAVE_CONFIG_H.
