Right.

I also noticed this behaviour and started to look after the cause. It
seems that distutils somehow grabs the target (python configured)
Makefile instead of the staging one.

Start of the trouble seems to be [1] where LIBDIR should point into
staging but is reported to be -L/usr/lib from sysconfig.

Maybe someone with more experience on python staging that can follow up.
