[lfs-support] Python build fail due to dependency

[Bharathi Ramana Joshi]

Hi

In section 6.51 of LFS 8.3, Python-3.7.0 is compiled with the option
`with-ensurepip` set to `yes` during configure. However, the install fails
with the following message <https://justpaste.it/5lkp2>. There is an open
bug related to this issue on python.org <https://bugs.python.org/issue31652>.
They suggest a workaround either by using the option `--without-ensurepip`
or installing the package `libffi-dev`. However, neither is mentioned in
the LFS 8.3 book. How should I proceed?

Thank you
brj

What? Libffi should have been installed in section 6.49. Did you
forget to install it?
