[New-bugs-announce] [issue39740] Select module fails to build on Solaris 11.4

[RobHammann]

New submission from RobHammann <robert.hammann at wdc.com>:

On an x86 Solaris 11.4 system, the standard procedure build of python from source fails to build the 'select' module. Make install then fails upon trying to import 'select'.

In the make output, while gcc is building 'select', these errors are printed:
