3.7 is no longer maintained. Please create a new issue if you are having this 
problem with a current version (>= 3.9).

> Use GCC option -fPIC for shared objects, please

Did you try that? I guess that the configure.ac block about CCSHARED="-fPIC" 
doesn't handle your operating system.

Try to modify manually Makefile to use "CCSHARED=-fPIC", make clean, and try 
make again.

I suggest starting without --enable-optimizations until you solve the build 
errors.

Jarl, I don't know if we support compiling on such devices, even though the OS 
is linux.  I suggest that you ask on python-list, where someone might have the 
experience to help you.

After some more testing, I can add that the same issue crops up when attempting 
to compile Python 2.7.16 as well.

That's correct, CPython. I'm not sure if MicroPython would fit the bill for
me, since this system is a full-blown Linux system.

[issue37080] Cannot compile Python3.7.3 on Alt-F (ARM)

[Jarl Gullberg]

New submission from Jarl Gullberg :

I am currently trying to compile the latest stable release of Python (3.7.3 at 
the time of writing) on a small ARM device (a DNS-323A1 NAS), running Alt-F (a 
custom linux-based firmware) using GCC 4.3.3. Unfortunately, I've hit a major 
snag that I just can't seem to get past.

In short, the compilation goes well until the [sharedmods] stage, where it 
encounters an error related to readline and the module not having been compiled 
with -fPIC. I've included a truncated log (taken from a second make invocation 
after the first failed) that displays the issue.

This is the ./configure invocation I've used:
'--prefix=/usr' '--enable-shared' '--with-system-expat' '--with-system-ffi' 
'--with-ensurepip=yes' '--enable-optimizations' '--enable-ipv6' 'CFLAGS=-fPIC' 
'CXXFLAGS=-fPIC'

Any assistance would be much appreciated.
