Your Python 2 doesn't have ssl support (try python2 -c 'import ssl').
You'll need openssl with dev headers to compile Python 2.

You need to be very careful when reading the compile logs, because it
just skips modules that cannot be compiled, instead of bailing out and
showing you a big error message.
