I'm thinking aloud to try to understand how it's supposed to work. Let's say that I cross-compile Python on x86-64 targeting ARM64. The build creates a ARM64 "python" program which cannot be executed on the x86-64 host. A python-config script which contains the target configuration is generated. Is the "ARM64" python-config (shell script) executed on the x86-64 host? Which build command rely on python-config? Is it to cross-compile 3rd party C extensions on the host?
