 I just noticed that my libnsl installation was broken. There was no
 libnsl.so, only libnsl.so.2. After fixing that, I was able to build
 python27 and python37. Still, the test in the Makefile needs to look
 for the correct headers to fix the decision for installations without
 libnsl or libtirpc. What python27 looks for (if I read it correctly):
 
 $PREFIX/include/rpcsvc/yp_prot.h
 $PREFIX/include/nsl/rpcsvc/yp_prot.h
 $PREFIX/include/rpc/rpc.h
 $PREFIX/include/tirpc/rpc/rpc.h
 
 I assume $PREFIX is /usr for our case. So â?¦ if we check for presence of
 
 	/usr/include/rpcsvc/yp_prot.h || /usr/include/nsl/rpcsvc/yp_prot.h
 
 AND
 
 	/usr/include/rpc/rpc.h || /usr/include/tirpc/rpc/rpc.h
 
 and set nis and no-nis accordingly, we should be safe, right?
