My new Debian 11 installation returned 'no C compiler found in path' during the enable optimizations stage. Solution was to install gcc then return to Python optimizations. Other versions of Linux I've used came with gcc & Python installed. Much simpler to install Python on Windows systems but it was kind of enjoyable see all the Python compiled with gcc.
