It used to look like that, but at least in my 3.6.8 installation
on RHEL8, it's been rewritten to be a shell script that doesn't
depend on sysconfig at all.
The result is sufficiently bletcherous that you'd have thought
they'd reconsider getting rid of sysconfig :-(. Also, it
definitely won't work on Windows.
