I had the same problem, and fixed with this patch:

--- PyQt-3.3.2/build.py.mgv     Fri Jul 12 15:04:53 2002

I have bad experience with os.spawn* (ended up in looking in the
source code instead of the unclear documentation).

Maybe using import distutils.spawn if present is better.

PS: I attach my spec file, gives an idea how to build a Mandrake
