Could I get some details on this? I've seen something like this where cmake
and automake are relying on sys.lib from python3-native/python-native to
determine the sitepackages directory, is that the behavior others are
hitting? So python modules end up in /usr/lib/ rather than /usr/lib64/, for
example?

If that's the issue in question, the issue is the mismatch between the
native sys.lib and target. We already patch automake to fall back to using
our libdir + python version to determine the path, but only if it wasn't
able to use sys.lib to do so. If we change that to always use libdir+python
version, it should fix the automake packages. Then we might need to patch
FindPythonLibs in cmake to do the same. I'm testing the automake change
locally now.
