Bug description:
I am following the Linux from scratch 12.1.
When I get to the chapter of building python I encounter the following error:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-shared \
--without-ensurepip
...
configure: creating ./config.status
./config.status: line 527: 0a1,737: command not found
./config.status: line 528: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./config.status: line 528: `> # This file is a shell script that caches the results of configure'
And it fails completely. When checking the file config.status we can see the error as reported:
exec 5>>config.log
{
echo
sed 'h;s/./-/g;s/^.../## /;s/...$/ ##/;p;x;p;x' <<_ASBOX
## Running $as_me. ##
_ASBOX
printf "%s\n" "$ac_log"
} >&5

From there we can check were configure is failing by at least knowing the limits, because we know is between the two other code blocks.
- The top code block exec 5>>config.log can be located to line 32280.
- The bottom code block # This file is a shell script that caches the results of configure can be located to line 31281.
- But this one is related to confcache.
At line 32280 we can se something interesting just below:
32290: cat >>$CONFIG_STATUS <<_ACEOF || ac_write_fail=1
32291: _ACEOF
The lines (32290 and 32291) do not add any content to config.status and if you try to remove them, the ./configure step finishes correctly and you can build the code.
The problem is seen in versions:
- 3.12.2
- 3.12.3
- 3.12.4
- 3.12.5
Thank you and kind regards,
