Question about building Python-3.9.12 on OpenBSD 7.1

Fri Jun 3 19:49:56 EDT 2022

Thanks for the response HTH. Your comment led me to think
that perhaps a "ports" dependency failed to be generated correctly.
They are patched on the fly.
I went back to "scratch" on fresh installation with a clean Python build.
This time it worked correctly. Go figure... thx! - Tim
