Description
I want to build Python for a chrooted environment without LZMA. The host system has liblzma and ./configure includes in the built liblzma, but then make && make install fails.
- Add option to
./configureto disable LZMA when building and installing python.

Start with the ./configure entry point and trace how LZMA support is detected and included in the build. Test the resulting option in the described chrooted environment with make && make install; done means Python builds and installs without including LZMA when the option is used.
