The latest mod_wsgi version is 3.3 for a start, why are you using 3.2? Second, there is a precompiled mod_wsgi.so binary for MacOS X which can be used for Apple supplied Python and Apache, so you do not need to compile it from source code and so avoid need to have installed XCode development tools. The precompile mod_wsgi.so is available from mod_wsgi download page.

As to the errors, it would appear to be a permissions problem for user that you are compiling as. That or you aren't using standard Apple supplied software and have somehow mixed up your PATH so it is grabbing disparate tools from different package distributions. Are you using just Apple tools or have you installed any of MacPorts, fink or HomeBrew?
