[issue26922] build from fresh checkout fails

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Even updating from remote, and then making a fresh clone in a new directory, I can't reproduce this one - "./configure && make -j4" works for me.

Does strace give any potentially useful hints?

For me:

    $ strace -e trace=file ./python -c "pass"

the apparently relevant part of the strace output looks like:
