Description

I'm downloading the builds to leverage libpython directly as an embedded Python engine.

On the debug build for macOS/Darwin Python 3.10 and 3.9 https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/releases/download/20250205/cpython-3.10.16+20250205-aarch64-apple-darwin-debug-full.tar.zst

macOS 14.7.2 23H420
Runner Image
Image: macos-14-arm64

I then get this issue:

```default
Could not find platform independent libraries
Could not find platform dependent libraries
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to [:]
```

The builds 3.11+ work fine and the release (pgo+lto) builds work fine.
