[New-bugs-announce] [issue22724] byte-compile fails for cross-builds

[Benedikt Morbach]

New submission from Benedikt Morbach:

For cross-builds the byte-compiling and 2to3 Grammar generation fail.

This is because PYTHONPATH/sys.path includes 'build/lib.$PLATFORM', in which the compiled .so modules reside.
The host python obviously barfs on those, as they are compiled for a different architecture.

However, this directory also contains _sysconfigdata.py, which is needed at all times.

A possible fix would be to separate those two.
