+ Some Python 3 modules can't be built now because the dependencies
+ are not installed yet. The building system still attempts to build
+ them however, so the compilation of some files will fail and the
+ compiler message may seem to indicate <quote>fatal error</quote>.
+ The message should be ignored. Just make sure the toplevel
+ <command>make</command> command has not failed. The optional
+ modules are not needed now and they will be built in
+ <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/>.
