+        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"/>.
