+Subject: [PATCH] gh-115382: Fix cross compiles when host and target use same
+ SOABI
+
+Previously, when a build was configured to use a host interpreter via
+--with-build-python, the PYTHON_FOR_BUILD config value included a path
+in PYTHONPATH that pointed to the target's built external modules.
+
+For "normal" foreign architecture cross compiles, when loading compiled
+external libraries, the target libraries were processed first due to
+their precedence in sys.path. These libraries were then ruled out due to
+a mismatch in the SOABI so the import mechanism continued searching
+until it found the host's native modules.
+
+However, if the host interpreter and the target python were on the same
+version + SOABI combination, the host interpreter would attempt to load
+the target's external modules due to their precedence in sys.path.
+
+Despite the "match", the target build may have been linked against a
+different libc or may include unsupported instructions so loading or
+executing the target's external modules can lead to crashes.
+
+Now, the path to the target's external modules is no longer defined in
+PYTHONPATH to prevent accidentally loading these foreign modules.
+
+One caveat is that during certain build stages, the target's sysconfig
+module requires higher precedence than the host's version in order to
+accurately query the target build's configuration.
+
+This worked previously due to the target's sysconfig data module having
+precedence over the host's (see above). In order to keep this desired
+behavior, a new environment variable, _PYTHON_SYSCONFIGDATA_PATH, has
+been defined so sysconfig can search this directory for the target's
+sysconfig data.
