[From bpo-10268]
The configure to Makefile option processing for a few options is non-standard. For example, --enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions=no is treated the same as --enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions or --enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions=yes, contrary to standard Autoconf behavior. Reportedly, this behavior also occurs with --with-system-expat=no and --with-system-ffi=no options.

I'm attaching the patch for py3k branch. A part of this patch could be applied also in 2.7 and 3.1 branches.

2.7 branch: --with-system-expat and --with-system-ffi
3.1 branch: --with-system-ffi

Does the patch here or an updated version still need incorporating into the build system?

The issue mentioned 3 configure options:
--enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions: still broken on 3.16.0a1+dev.--with-system-expat: already fixed in GH-29547.--with-system-ffi: option removed in 3.12 with GH-100544.I'll open PR to add the guard for

#159728 is merged, so
--enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions=noand--disable-loadable-sqlite-extensionsnow disable extension loading as Autoconf conventions expect. The other two options were already handled, see my comment above.The fix is on main only. I think this can be closed.
