One piece of info that maybe relevant here (or, perhaps for future needs):
* A very nice and generic feature of EB are the --try-* options
If the build procedure of the new Cython is not deviating much from an existing
easyconfig,
you can on the fly "calculate" the new easyconfig with
--try-software-version=XYZ;
the same idea applies for --try-toolchain=* and a few more bits and just works
fine!
So, if the easyconfig you want does not exist already (check with eb --search),
simply pick the closest example and use the --try-* parameters, as you deem
fit...
cheers,
Fotis
