FWIW I also get the same error on macOS - been trying for days to hunt down
problem but so far no answer.
Looking at the ./configure code but am boggled by it and struggling to zone in

I work in Xcode so no idea what to use to dynamically debug/trace in Terminal
Gandalf:trunk pteeson$ ./configure --with-python
…..
