 hello,
 
 The problem in PR pkg/31027 is caused by incorrect quote in the python
 "configure" script. (In my case, system is Linux, and library is
 py-readline).
 
 The quotation which contains environment variable expansion, must
 be by doublequote, not singlequote. I've modify "patch-al" patch in
 python24 patches, and update python, then I can build library.
