[issue37638] Having issues following build instructions

[Tianming Zhuang]

New submission from Tianming Zhuang <abstract.wolf at gmail.com>:

Hi there. This is my first time trying to build python from source. I am following in structions here:
https://devguide.python.org/setup/#setup

I notice that after I build, I don't get a success message like the example shown:
https://gist.github.com/tmzhuang/aacc6bf798f28ed8b673af1be009a49f

(ie. I don't see "Python build finished successfully!")

The actual python binary is built. Running "./python -m test" runs until "test_socket" which repeated for around 3 hours (after which I killed it with ^C).

"uname -a": Linux jupiter-arch 5.2.1-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 14 14:52:52 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux
