Last time I checked, distutils didn't support compilation for anything but the
running Python instance, nor was it intended to. Should it?
If not, the efforts look misplaced, you should rather use a toolchain that
does...

So over on https://bugs.python.org/issue22699 I've been talking to myself as I figure out all the ways that cross-compiling (on Ubuntu,
targeting another Linux distro via an SDK) fails.
In short, it's either because sysconfig can't provide details about any CPython install other than the currently running one, or it's
because our setup.py (for building the CPython extension modules) uses sysconfig.
Either way, I'm not about to propose a rewrite to fix either of them without finding those who are most involved in these areas. Please
come join me on the bug.
Thanks,
Steve
