As detailed in python/cpython#89452 (comment), Homebrew makes a specific change to
gdbm
that confuses the build of 3.10 and below into picking incompatible headers/libs, sodbm
segfaults at runtime.It's fixed in 3.11; older source-only releases only get a workaround: pass
--with-dbmliborder=gdbm:ndbm
toconfigure
