Is the "ARM64" python-config (shell script) executed on the x86-64 host?

A cross-compilation means that there is probably no build framework on the target platform and therefore the build configuration of the cross-compilation of Python is not very useful there.

Which build command rely on python-config? Is it to cross-compile 3rd party C extensions on the host?

It is useful when cross-compiling an application that embeds Python. And I have a hunch that this may be also useful to fix the cross-compilation of third-party extension modules :) Xavier
