[New-bugs-announce] [issue28341] cpython tip fails to build on Mac OS X

[Skip Montanaro]

New submission from Skip Montanaro:

Just trying an infrequent update of tip (last time seems to have been early July), I get a link error on my Mac:

% make
./Programs/_freeze_importlib \
	    ./Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py Python/importlib.h
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _getentropy
  Referenced from: /Users/skip/src/hgpython/cpython/./Programs/_freeze_importlib
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

dyld: Symbol not found: _getentropy
  Referenced from: /Users/skip/src/hgpython/cpython/./Programs/_freeze_importlib
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

make: *** [Python/importlib.h] Trace/BPT trap: 5

I'm running Mac OS X 10.11.6, and upgraded to XCode 8.0 a few days ago. Searching for the error, I saw some suggestions elsewhere on the web that this might be a known problem, though I saw nothing here (just searched for _getentropy).
