Looks like some kind of linking needs to be updated?
Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2018-06-28 11:07:32 UTC 
Any update on this one?
Comment 2 Jeremy Cline 2018-06-29 21:23:14 UTC 
The issue turned out to be perf is getting CFLAGS (for a few files) from 'python3-config --cflags' which started including -flto in 3.7. This caused the linker to be unhappy since not everything included link-time optimization (I think). 

I've added a quick patch to fix the issue and built it into the f29-python tag. I'll see about fixing it properly next week.
Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2018-06-29 21:25:08 UTC 
Thank You!

I wonder whether we should remove -flto from the exported cflags.
