[Dev] Why I can't compile python2 inside a chroot?

[Jorge Araya Navarro]

Hello!

I'm trying to build python2 with debugging symbols and with the `--with-pydebug` option on. The first try I
did it using just `makepkg`, but the binary was malformed and when I try to run it with gdb I get this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
> gdb python2
gdb: Symbol `PyBool_Type' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
gdb: Symbol `_Py_TrueStruct' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking

Now I'm trying with libremakepkg, but the compilation gets stuck here:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

What can I do? I really need this Python2 binary with debugging symbols :(
