After I began installing BLFS packages (in systemd development), I
found that executing pip, pip2 or pip3 gave a long error message
something like this:

So I tried to rebuild Python 3 and Python 2 according to BLFS book
instructions. But when I executed "make install" I got essentially the
same error message as above. After looking on the Net for some
guidance, and trying a variety of things to figure out what the error
is, I tried going back to the LFS tool chain with the following, as
nonprivileged user alan, using ideas I recently learned from Bruce:
#############################
su - root
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/mapper/lfslvm2-root $LFS
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/mapper/lfslvm2-boot $LFS/boot
mount -v -t vfat /dev/sdc1 $LFS/boot/efi
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/mapper/lfslvm2-opt $LFS/opt
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/mapper/lfslvm2-home $LFS/home
exit
bash ~/mount-virt.sh
sudo chroot /mnt/lfs /tools/bin/env -i \
HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" \
PS1='(lfs chroot) \u:\w\$ ' \
PATH=/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin \
/tools/bin/bash --login +h
export LFS=/mnt/lfs
alias ll='ls -l'
cd /sources
#############################
In this chroot environment I went back to the LFS book,
section "6.51. Python-3.8.1" and built that again. But I got an error
similar to the above after executing "make install". After a lot of
apparently successful installation messages, the following was output:
#############################

case upgrade in \

Clearly, there is a problem with making pip. Clearly, I have no idea
what's happening here.
It's entirely possible that I did something wrong in building the
stuff in the LFS book. But I don't know how to check that.
At worst I could go back and start from scratch with LFS yet again on
another fresh hard drive, but I really don't want to do that, since it
requires about 30 hours to get to the point of building Python-2.7.17.
I'd appreciate any help on this.
