[Python-Dev] Changes to configure.ac, auto-detection and related build issues

[Eitan Adler]

Hi all,

Hope this is an appropriate list to send this message to; if not,
please redirect me.

I am working on updating, fixing, or otherwise changing python's
configure.ac. This work is complex, lacks dedicated unit tests, and is
easy to miss corner cases. As these changes make it into master I'll
be watching the various build bots and be on the look out for related
failures. That said, I will miss things. Please feel free to tag me in
related PRs or bugs or emails over the next few weeks.

Thanks
