Victor, Thanks a bunch! Issue closed! It saved my day!

The FIX: "sudo yum install -y libffi-devel", fixed the 3.7.3 compile error!

Have a great day!

Carlos

OK)

FYI I also created an issue to suggest to avoid ctypes to get the glibc version 
in pip ;-)
https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6675

In the past, we reported multiple times issues to pip when ctypes is not 
avialable (for different reasons), but it seems to be a lost battle: 
ctypes is commonly used (directly by pip, or by pip dependencies), so instead 
we try to ensure that ctypes is built on buildbots.
