Martin Panter added the comment:
It looks like the Programs/python.exp change was done accidentally in revision
88a532a31eb3 (Issue 18093), so we should be safe reverting the relevant lines
back to Modules/python.exp.
The configure script currently sets
LIBPL='$(prefix)'"/lib/python${VERSION}/config-${LDVERSION}"
AC_SUBST(LIBPL)
However there is a contradictory comment in the makefile:
# This goes into $(exec_prefix)
LIBPL= @LIBPL@
It looks like the comment came first. $(LIBPL) was changed from $(LIBDIR)
[presumably using $(exec_prefix)] to use $(prefix) in r86731 (Issue 9807).
This isn’t my area of expertise, but my understanding is $(exec_prefix) is for
architecture-specific files only. If python.exp is not architecture-specific,
perhaps it should go in $(prefix), and the configure script (and makefile
comment) needs fixing.
