I just pulled changes from upstream and when I build with:

./configure --with-pydebug && make -j

Am getting a Segmentation fault:

./python -E -S -m sysconfig --generate-posix-vars ;\
if test $? -ne 0 ; then \
        echo "generate-posix-vars failed" ; \
        rm -f ./pybuilddir.txt ; \
        exit 1 ; \
fi

I hope someone else can replicate this on:

If you updated an unclean checkout, try running `make distclean` before configuring and building again; that often clears this kind of thing up.

Actually my master had some segfaulting changes that I had moved to it in error. Thanks.

Closing this.

Confirmed....forgeting to run makedistclean was the problem.

Yeah, it happens often to me.

If "make distclean" is not enough, I move untracked files outside the Python repository and run "git clean "-fdx" which removes *all* untracked files. Use "git clean -ndx" to see which files will be removed, to double check. Otherwise, you may loose sensitive files which are not tracked by Git.
