Hello Laszlo, I'm trying to investigate the issue. As a first step, I decided to try with a newer gevent version (20.9.0) to see if the problem disappears. But I'm failing to build the package. Maybe I should stop there and simply test 20.9.0 without trying to package it.
I have made some progress though, so maybe you'd be interested by a few patches towards packaging the new version.

It looks like there is a kind of hack around saving a file, running the ./configure of c-ares, and restoring the file, done in _setupares.py. It looks odd to me that ./configure breaks, as I thought it was supposed to generate files out of thin air and disregard existing caches. Maybe a (cleaner) solution would be to actually depend on libc-ares-dev instead of using gevent's embedded c-ares, even though the gevent team recommends using their embedded library.
