Yes, it worked after that, but then I tried the "automatic" method
until I ran into the library errors since going through variants lists manually
did not sound too inviting to me, and I got the feeling that there was
already much deprecated junk built up. Then I ran uninstall
installed to start from scratch.

I am now one step further after replacing the "uname -m" machine test
in python's configure with a "x86_64" string literal. Now it has some
problem in staging to destroot, not in building.
