I've just tried installing 2.7.13 on my ARM machine but after a successful build, make install fails without any hint what's wrong:

Compiling /usr/lib/python2.7/xmllib.py ...
Compiling /usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py ...
Compiling /usr/lib/python2.7/zipfile.py ...
make: *** [libinstall] Error 1

Python 3.5.2 installation was successful on the same machine a little earlier. At the very least, a hint should be provided on how to get more verbose info.

In case a clue might be gleaned right away from make test, I'm posting the final part of the output here:
