Installed python files run fine.  The pure python module runs fine
installed.

It is not FFI related as it breaks all the Python utilities.

Not sure how to test the FFI installed FFI.. ntpc.so still getting
installed in the wrong place (/usr/local/lib64/python2.7/site-packages)
and the versions .so not being created (ntpc.so.1, etc.) even when I run
ldconfig.  Since the file is not in the right place ldconfig does not
know to look there.  Nor should it.

Bisecting will take a while.  I have a new RasPi4 that is requiring
my time to get right.
