BJOERN_WANT_STATSD=yes python setup.py install fails

[totti4Life]

I tried to install with the BJOERN_WANT_STATSD=yes flag
tried to run BJOERN_WANT_STATSD=yes python setup.py install
fails with the fallowing output:

Related to storage size of ‘hints’ isn’t known I found this topic https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38931930/compile-libxml2-get-error-storage-size-of-hints-isn-t-known/38933236#38933236
Maybe this helps.
I tried both with python2 and python3

Thank you

Looks like you’re missing some headers. The Stack Overflow link you found is unrelated. Can you try to compile statsd separately? (e.g. as part of bjoern's make process)

Does not help.
Tested on Ubuntu 19 and 18 also under Debian 10 (inside docker)
