New submission from Brian Sidebotham :
I am getting the following error when trying to compile Python 2.7.14 (and
previous 2.7 versions) on CentOS and RHEL7.
The main problem is that CONFIG_ARGS does not exist. I've included the build.
This RPATH is correct - it has to go through the RPM SPEC file so needs
escaping like this to work.
Python 3.6.2 builds find like this, but Python 2.7 is failing to build. Have I
missed something?

./configure --prefix=/opt/wsl \
--enable-shared \
--with-system-ffi \
--with-ensurepip=yes \
--enable-optimizations
