New submission from Xinmeng Xia <xi...@smail.nju.edu.cn>:
Installation of latest Python 3.6.13 fails on MacOS Big Sur 11.2.3. The source code is downloaded from python.org. Then we try to install it by commands "./configure;sudo make;sudo make install". However the installation crashes. The installation succeeds on Ubuntu.
