Its not obvious; where does one look for this step output? I did not see it on my build attempts last night. I'm assuming its in one of the logs. What would be nice is a final (at the end) report listing of the modules|extention modules that did not get built (for whatever reason). As an aside, the ensure pip is disabled for some reason (I'm reading the pep, and such, which is confusing). There isn't much to go on from the build listing about ensure pip either. marcus
