That's how I do it when I want to test under Windows.

I don't ever build directly under Windows.

But, just for kicks, I did just now.

The following *should* work:

   c:\Python23\python setup.py build
   c:\Python23\python setup.py install --prefix ..\..\install

(Note that --prefix cannot take an absolute path on Windows.)

It turns out that there was a glitch in some of the packaging goo that 
got us in that mode, which is fixed with the attached patch, now 
committed to both the mainline and the 2.1 branch.

That sounds like a bug in your installation of Python.  If you start 
/home/afunk/Python-2.3/python, and do:

   import sys
   print sys.executable

what does it show you?

Would you send everything that shows up in your terminal when you do the 
commands shown above?
