+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.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [Embedded Specific]
