Update - I figured out why.

Ok, so I figured it out. This machine was upgraded from FreeBSD
10.4-release-p3 with freebsd-update. And it looks like I forgot to run
the last 'freebsd-update install' - the one that clears out old unused
libraries.
After running that, python37 both builds and installs without problems.
