Can you apply the following patch to /usr/ports/lang/python27, rebuild
python, re-install and then try to build databases/py-sqlite3 again?

It seems the root cause is a broken python build that accidentally
defines malloc(), free(), at al in _ctypes.so. A longer explanation
was sent to svn-src-head_at_ and svn-src-all_at_

I expect that the patch also fixes the other problems mentioned in
this thread. It would be great if people can verify this.
