[issue37595] Python 3.7.4 does not build on Raspbian Buster

I looked at my build log again.

The very first line that jumps out as abnormal is this:

    /usr/bin/ld: /usr/bin/ld: DWARF error: invalid abstract instance DIE ref

A quick DuckDuckGoing suggests that this *may* be related to a broken version of binutils: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-binutils/2018-07/msg00150.html

The current, most up-to-date version of binutils in Raspbian Stretch is this:

    $ dpkg -l binutils
    Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
    | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
    |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
    ||/ Name           Version        Architecture Description
    +++-==============-==============-============-==========================================
    ii  binutils       2.31.1-16+rpi1 armhf        GNU assembler, linker and binary utilities

A quick grep of the output of `apt changelog binutils` doesn't mention the bug number (23425).

I don't know what conclusion to draw.
