Ok I took this to mean --disable-python your ./configure has to be
broken and tried to build it with python. It complained about not
having tk support in python so I recompiled python and then everything
that required it. Not fun.

For my trouble I now have the same issue using --disable-python flag.
With out that flag I get another issue. This is the end of my config

checking for msgfmt... /usr/bin/msgfmt
checking for --tcl support in msgfmt... yes
checking for Python support... yes
checking python version... OK
checking version of python libraries... python2.7
checking match between tk and Tkinter versions... 8.5
checking location of Python header files... /usr/include/python2.7
checking for Python headers... -I/usr/include/python2.7
checking for Python libraries... -lpthread -ldl  -lutil
checking whether the Boost::Python headers are available... yes
checking for boost::python shared library...
configure: error: boost::python is required to build LinuxCNC

What package is boost::python from? I am not a python guy.
