During bootstrap-prefix.sh on a Centos-6 machine, glibc-2.29 fails to build due to python-2.7 not being sufficient. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On Centos-6 run 'bootstrap-prefix.sh' Actual Results: glibc-2.29 fails during ./configure due to python-2.7 being "bad" Expected Results: bootstrap completes According to the INSTALL file in glibc-2.29, it now requires at least "Python 3.4 or later" to compile. There is no python3 on this machine to fall back on. Could bootstrap-prefix.sh be updated to also include python3?
Can confirm this per the Azure pipelines for openSUSE and Ubuntu: https://dev.azure.com/gentoo-prefix/ci-builds/_build
I have been informed by our user Chaojian Li offline about this bug. Python-2.7.3 has been patched by redlizard more than 5 years. Time for an update to Python-3. Alternatively, we could consider pkgcore.
I was thinking the same, to try and see if we can use a vanilla (or else patched) Python-3 tarball in the bootstrap. It's just trying it out I guess. We can disable Python-2 in our profiles as a follow-up step.

We should consider using the cygwin release for that.

@haubi: I couldn't accomodate for Cygwin, you'll have to do it. Perhaps using cygwin's patched python archive is an option?
x86_64-apple-darwin17 20190522 i386-pc-solaris2.11 20190522 confirm python-3.6.8 in stage1 doesn't royally break
This is now working for me. Thanks.
ok, cool, thanks for the feedback
