 Thank you for the quick feedback and for investigating it!
 
 I think these are just the important lines of build2.log:
 
  | building 'nis' extension
  | cc -fPIC -Wno-unused-result -Wsign-compare -DNDEBUG -O2 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/pkg/include/db4 -O2 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/pkg/include/db4 -O2 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/pkg/include/db4 -std=gnu99 -Wextra -Wno-unused-result -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-missing-field-initializers -Werror=implicit-function-declaration -I./Include -I. -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/pkg/include/db4 -I/root/pkg/work/lang/python37/work/Python-3.7.0/Include -I/root/pkg/work/lang/python37/work/Python-3.7.0 -c /root/pkg/work/lang/python37/work/Python-3.7.0/Modules/nismodule.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.7/root/pkg/work/lang/python37/work/Python-3.7.0/Modules/nismodule.o

  |  #include <sys/cdefs.h>
  |                        ^

 If I understand the error correctly I think that now the problem
 is in libnsl-dev that could tries to include <sys/cdefs.h>.
 
 Can you please try to share that with the Alpine community and keep us
 updated?
 
 
 Thank you again!
