python Considered Harmful

Arch uses python->python3, not python2. This is fine according to PEP 394, but naturally not everyone is compliant.

gn

We can use the correct python with gn with gn --script-executable=python2. Theoretically this can go in the .gn file also, but since the official python.org Windows packages are presently incompatible PEP 394, it’s not a slam-dunk.

clang missing libtinfo.so.5

Arch uses ncurses-6, so we don’t have this lib from ncurses-5. We can’t use system clang yet, because (at least) ANGLE wants clang-6, and only clang-5 has been released.

You will need: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libtinfo5/
