On RedHat 7.1 I ran into the following interesting
build bug:

$ ./configure
(works fine)
$ make
./Parser/asdl_c.py -h ./Include -c ./Python
./Parser/Python.asdl
  File "./Parser.asdl_c.py", line 56
    j += 2 # account or the brase and space after it
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This is because Python 1.5.2 is the default there --
OK, no problem working around that 'cause I've got
other versions there but it seems mighty strange that
the very first thing done in a build of Python requires
an already-built Python.  What happens on an OS where
Python isn't there yet at all?

This is a packaging bug. You can workaround it with 'touch
Python/Python-ast.c Python/Python-ast.h' before running make.
