Comment(by ra...@…):
A new feature introduced in 2.7 is --with-system-expat. This will
fail with segfault. Python's internal version of Expat is 2.0.0
which does not exhibit this problem. According to
http://bugs.python.org/issue9054 the issue is fixed with the
patched attached to the bug ticket, but it does not fix it for
me.
For now, the solution is to not mention in the dependencies that
Expat can be used, and a little note saying not to use the
--with-system-expat switch, as it could cause failures.
More reading says the issue is completely fixed in Python-3.2
but I have not tested that.
Additionally, BDB support is all but gone in Python. Any new
version of BDB 5.X is not supported, and starting in Python-3.x,
support for BDB is completely removed. I suppose they want to
base their DB activities on sqlite.
