In Linux kernel 5.14 one can dynamically request size of altstacksize
based on hardware capabilities with getauxval(AT_MINSIGSTKSZ).
This changes allows for Python extension's request to Linux kernel
to use AMX_TILE instruction set on Sapphire Rapids Xeon processor
to succeed, unblocking use of the ISA in frameworks.
Introduced HAVE_LINUX_AUXVEC_H in configure.ac and pyconfig.h.in
Used cpython_autoconf:269 docker container to generate configure.
The heredoc creation statements use >> to append conftest.c. This can cause
tricky build issues if the file is not correctly removed prior to its
name being reused (such name is reused several times for different
contextual tests during the build). One such result from appending may
cause #include <ac_nonexistent.h> to persist when testing to acquire
PLATFORM_TRIPLET. This can then lead to downstream issues concerning SOABI.
musl libc and gnu libc are not ABI compatible so we need set different
SOABI for musl and not simply assume that all linux is linux-gnu.
Replace linux-gnu with the detected os for the build from config.guess
for linux-musl*.
When Python is built without --enable-shared, the "python" program is
now linked to object files, rather than being linked to the Python
library (libpython.a), to make sure that all symbols are exported.
Previously, the linker omitted some symbols like the Py_FrozenMain()
function.
When Python is configured with --without-static-libpython, the Python
static library (libpython.a) is no longer built.
* Check --without-static-libpython earlier in configure.ac
* Add LINK_PYTHON_OBJS and LINK_PYTHON_DEPS variables to Makefile.
* test_capi now ensures that the "Py_FrozenMain" symbol is exported.
The build system now uses a :program:`_bootstrap_python` interpreter for
freezing and deepfreezing again. To speed up build process the build tools
:program:`_bootstrap_python` and :program:`_freeze_module` are no longer
build with LTO.
Cross building depends on a build Python interpreter, which must have same
version and bytecode as target host Python.
``Modules/Setup.stdlib`` contains ``Setup`` lines for all stdlib extension modules for which ``configure`` has detected their dependencies. The file is not used yet and still under development. To use the file, do ``ln -sfr Modules/Setup.stdlib Modules/Setup.local``.
Instead we use $(PYTHON_FOR_REGEN) .../deepfreeze.py with the
frozen .h file as input, as we did for Windows in bpo-45850.
We also get rid of the code that generates the .h files
when make regen-frozen is run (i.e., .../make_frozen.py),
and the MANIFEST file.
Restore Python 3.8 and 3.9 as Windows host Python again

``configure`` now uses a standardized format to forward state, compiler
flags, and linker flags to ``Makefile``, ``setup.py``, and
``Modules/Setup``. ``makesetup`` use the new variables by default if a
module line does not contain any compiler or linker flags. ``setup.py``
has a new function ``addext()``.
For a module ``egg``, configure adds:
* ``MODULE_EGG`` with value yes, missing, disabled, or n/a
* ``MODULE_EGG_CFLAGS``
* ``MODULE_EGG_LDFLAGS``
``Makefile.pre.in`` may also provide ``MODULE_EGG_DEPS`` that lists
dependencies such as header files and static libs.

Settings for :mod:`pyexpat` C extension are now detected by ``configure``.
The bundled ``expat`` library is built in ``Makefile``.

Settings for :mod:`decimal` internal C extension are now detected by
:program:`configure`. The bundled `libmpdec` library is built in
``Makefile``.

This gains 10% or more in startup time for `python -c pass` on UNIX-ish systems.
The Makefile.pre.in generating code builds on Eric's work for bpo-45020, but the .c file generator is new.
Windows version TBD.

"Ripped out Next/OpenStep support, which was broken anyway"
Automerge-Triggered-By: GH:tiran
From the autoconf docs *Obsolete Macros* section:
Defined the output variable EXEEXT based on the output of the
compiler, which is now done automatically. Typically set to empty
string if Posix and ‘.exe’ if a DOS variant.
Almost all checks are now cached by AC_CACHE_CHECK().
Common patterns are replaced by helper macros.
Variable names now use naming scheme ``ac_cv_func_$funcname``,
``ac_cv_lib_$library_$funcname``, or ``ac_cv_header_$headername_h``.
``SYS_SELECT_WITH_SYS_TIME`` is no longer used.
``uuid_create`` and ``uuid_enc_be`` are provided by libc on BSD. It is
safe to use ``AC_CHECK_FUNCS`` here.
Caching speeds up ./configure -C from ~ 4s to 2.6s on my system.

Add Modules subdirs to SRCDIRS to generate directories for out-of-tree
object files.
Debian wants ncurses lib. Works on Fedora, too.
Debian also needs pkg-config to detect correct flags.
Remove more outdated comments. Makefile now tracks header dependencies
-lintl is injected by configure when needed. Build _dbm with
gdbm-compat.
Group some modules by purpose. socket, select, and mmap work on Windows,
too.
The :mod:`math` and :mod:`cmath` implementation now require a C99 compatible
``libm`` and no longer ship with workarounds for missing acosh, asinh,
expm1, and log1p functions.
The changeset also removes ``_math.c`` and moves the last remaining
workaround into ``_math.h``. This simplifies static builds with
``Modules/Setup`` and resolves symbol conflicts.
