This is strange.  

It looks as though the compiler found an old ExtensionClass.h
file on the include path.  
lib/Components/ExtensionClass/ExtenionClas.h defines 
EXTENSIONCLASS_BASICNEW_FLAG, but the compiler doesn't seem to 
see this definition.  This flag first appeared 
in ExtenionClass release 1.1.

Have you, by any chance, installed ExtensionClass 1.0
in the past and copied the ExtensionClass.h file to the Python include
directories?
