[New-bugs-announce] [issue24871] freeze.py doesn't work on x86_64 Linux out of the box

[Mikhail Terekhov]

New submission from Mikhail Terekhov:

On 64-bit Linux freeze.py uses lib instead of lib64 when constructing
path to Makefile etc. Using sysconfig fixes this issue.


Without encodings.ascii resulting program fails with the following error:

Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
LookupError: unknown encoding: ANSI_X3.4-1968
Aborted

Attached patch fixes both issues.
