configure python problem.

[Jeremy Allison]

After most recent git update in master.

Previously working system.

git clean -d -f -x

buildtools/bin/waf configure --enable-pthreadpool --with-acl-support --enable-developer --enable-selftest --picky-developer --accel-aes=intelaesni

Checking for python version >= 2.6.0                                              : 3.5.4 
python-config                                                                     : not found

However:

$ python-config   
Usage: /usr/bin/python-config --prefix|--exec-prefix|--includes|--libs|--cflags|--ldflags|--extension-suffix|--help|--configdir

What got broken ? What am I missing ?

Why does python break things so badly
and why do we depend on people who
can't handle upgrades ?
