New submission from David Ripton:
Python 3.0a1, Gentoo Linux x86, with OpenSSL 0.9.8e installed.
$ ./configure; make
Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
_sha256 _sha512
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the
module's name.
setup.py says:
if (openssl_ver < 0x00908000):
# OpenSSL doesn't do these until 0.9.8 so we'll bring our
own hash
exts.append( Extension('_sha256', ['sha256module.c']) )
exts.append( Extension('_sha512', ['sha512module.c']) )
But I have openssl 0.9.8e. So openssl is new enough that I don't need
the _sha256 and _sha512 modules. And the comment says that "these
aren't strictly missing since they are unneeded", so the error message
is spurious.
