Description of problem:
When rebulding python38 module for RHEL 8, numpy fails to build from source with:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
numpy-1.17.3-6

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Scratch build python38 module for RHEL 8.

Additional info:
We need to rebuild the module to be able to ship a CVE fix in one of its components so this is kinda important for us.
