Issue 31713: python3 python-config script generates invalid includes
Related to https://bugs.python.org/issue22907 If building in a path that starts with /usr, the includedir=$(echo "@includedir@" | sed "s#^$prefix_build#$prefix_real#") assignment in the python-config.sh ends up having the path it processes ran through a path substitution once before this line is executed because the @includedir@ in the python-config.sh.in is set to the string '${prefix}/include'. ${prefix} is assigned just above includedir in python-config.sh to prefix=$(echo "$prefix_build" | sed "s#^$prefix_build#$prefix_real#") I believe we need to update the includedir to includedir=$(echo "@includedir@") Or rename the prefix variable in python-config.sh so that there isn't a naming conflict if a string is passed in via @includedir@ with that variable. Without fixing this you end up with multiple /usr substitutions in the includedir string, each replaced with the real path. ie resulting in an invalid path.
