After googling a bit it looks like the 0.9.3 + gcc4 patch does not work with 
python 2.4 (except on my machine, why?). This has been fixed in 0.9.3.1. Thus 
you need use the 0.9.3.1 version and apply the missing part of the patch 
manually. Or you can fix offending line by hand:

site-packages/Pyrex/Distutils/build_ext.py
