Since as of Python 3.7+ using system `ffi` is now mandatory (and so the default) on Linux: https://bugs.python.org/issue27979 python/cpython@f40d4dd Removing the option resolves this configure warning: ``` checking for --with-system-ffi... yes configure: WARNING: --with(out)-system-ffi is ignored on this platform ``` Closes docker-library#715.

Hi!
The Dockerfiles for Linux in this repository currently pass
--with-system-ffito configure:python/Dockerfile-linux.template
Line 162 in 1999778
This option was added back in #205 / #358.
However, as of Python 3.7+ using the system
ffilibrary is the default for Linux:https://bugs.python.org/issue27979
python/cpython@f40d4dd#diff-49473dca262eeab3b4a43002adb08b4db31020d190caaad1594b47f1d5daa810
As such, builds are currently emitting this warning during configure:
Examples in CI on this repo:
Given that this repo no longer supports Python versions older than Python 3.7, it seems this option can now be dropped?
