[issue38491] Can not build Python 3.8.0 on Linux - missing dependencies

[devlocalca]

New submission from devlocalca <devlocalca at gmail.com>:

I can not build the 3.8.0 source code on Linux due to missing dependencies that I cannot find.

More information here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/digewe/python_38_not_possible_to_install_on_linux_why/

Can someone please show me how to build/install Python 3.8.0 on Linux from source, as Python 3.8.0 is not available to install from any RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 repo.
