New submission from Alex Willmer:

While trying a cross compile of Python 3.6 I encountered the following

 Issue #27225: Fixed a reference leak in type_new when setting __new__ fails.

cp: './Include/graminit.h' and 'Include/graminit.h' are the same file
Makefile:806: recipe for target 'Include/graminit.h' failed
make: *** [Include/graminit.h] Error 1


The attached patch allows me to get past this error. I'm unsure if it's an appropriate fix or just a workaround.
