RE: > a single, focused bug
What is this bug if not single and focused ?
The "SINGLE FOCUS" of this bug, in case you missed it , is that
there appears to be no source release of python that can build
and pass its make tests on my platform ; I then "FOCUSED" on
detailing each test failure found ; maybe you really don't
want people to be able to see these failures , which is why
the build hides the "-v" verbose option so effectively ?
I did first try :
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-shared 
but this fails because no db module can build - again, back to 
my previous question - why must I enable any dbm module ?
I'll append the output of the failures from this "vanilla configure".
