+python-config: Revert to using distutils.sysconfig
+
+The newer sysconfig module shares some code with distutils.sysconfig, but the same modifications as in
+
+12-distutils-prefix-is-inside-staging-area.patch makes distutils.sysconfig
+
+affect the native runtime as well as cross building. Use the old, patched
+implementation which returns paths in the staging directory and for the target,
+as appropriate.

+
+python3 has introduced _PYTHON_PROJECT_BASE which is used for separate B
+and S, but it doesn't work when compile Modules, the target python3 runs
+python3-native's sysconfig to get srcdir which is the native's, there
+would be errors when native's srcdir has been removed, add
+_PYTHON_PROJECT_SRC to fix the problem.

+The CC variable,sometimes like:"x86_64-poky-linux-gcc   -m64 --sysroot=/${TMPDIR}/sysroots/qemux86-64", contains option information. 
+This will lead to wrong compiler name "qemux86-64" rather than "x86_64-poky-linux-gcc" when python finding the compiler name.
+
+Secondly add -L=<path> this way linker will be able to resolve /usr/lib w.r.t sysroot and not
+use hardcoded /usr/lib to look for libs which is wrong in cross compile environment and this will work
+ok on native systems too since sysroot for native compilers is /
