Too many issues will kill our team's development velocity, drastically.
Make sure you have checked all steps below.

Prerequisite

• Make sure your problem is not listed in the common build problems.
• Make sure no duplicated issue has already been reported in the pyenv issues. You should look for closed issues, too.
• Make sure you are not asking us to help solving your specific issue.
  • GitHub issues is opened mainly for development purposes. If you want to ask someone to help solving your problem, go to some community site like Gitter, StackOverflow, etc.
• Make sure your problem is not derived from packaging (e.g. Homebrew).
  • Please refer to the package documentation for the installation issues, etc.
• Make sure your problem is not derived from plugins.
  • This repository is maintaining pyenv and the default python-build plugin only. Please refrain from reporting issues of other plugins here.

Description

• Platform information (e.g. Ubuntu Linux 16.04): Ubuntu Linux 22.04
• OS architecture (e.g. amd64): amd64
• pyenv version: latest master (commit df5ecfc)
• Python version: 3.6.15
• C Compiler information (e.g. gcc 7.3): 11.2.0
• Please attach the debug trace of the failing command as a gist:
  • Run env PYENV_DEBUG=1 <faulty command> 2>&1 | tee trace.log and attach trace.log. E.g. if you have a problem with installing Python, run env PYENV_DEBUG=1 pyenv install -v <version> 2>&1 | tee trace.log (note the -v option to pyenv install).

Thanks for the very useful pyenv project. 🙂
Installing Python 3.6.15 on Ubuntu 22.04 causes a segmentation fault at the moment:

if test "xupgrade" != "xno"  ; then \
        case upgrade in \
                upgrade) ensurepip="--upgrade" ;; \
                install|*) ensurepip="" ;; \
        esac; \
         ./python -E -m ensurepip \
                $ensurepip --root=/ ; \
fi
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I attached trace.log as requested above and the log output of the build itself. The failing build can be reproduced in a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 Docker container with the following Bash script:

#!/bin/bash

PYENV_ROOT="/usr/local/pyenv"

apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends build-essential \
