Error when building Python 3.11.4 on Amazon Linux 2

HI there!

I’m trying to build Python 3.11.4 on an Amazon Linux 2 based docker image. It’s been failing non-deterministically with the following error:

[AWS CodeBuild Plugin] INFO   - __main__             - + sudo make -j 2 EXTRA_CFLAGS= 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath='\''$$ORIGIN/../lib'\''' install

Has anyone run into something like this before? I’m not quite sure where to go next to try and debug this. I’m using gcc 7.3.1.

Many thanks!

That “permission denied” error when trying to run ./python is
indicative of missing execute permission on the file. Perhaps the
build is occurring somewhere like /tmp and the filesystem there is
mounted with the noexec flag for security reasons?
