[issue41207] distutils.command.build_ext raises FileNotFoundError

Do you mean mean that spawn() of distutils.spawn should catch FileNotFoundError and raise a CompilerError instead?

It seems like before my commit 1ec63b62035e73111e204a0e03b83503e1c58f2e, any OSError was catched and replaced with DistutilsExecError, not only FileNotFoundError.

Do you want to propose a fix?
