That's odd.  My local builds of python3 appear to be working fine, there's
a python3-ctypes package with a _ctype.so inside, and configure works:

autoreconf: Entering directory `../Python-3.4.3/Modules/_ctypes/libffi'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing

Can you share the full do_configure log?
