Description
[`patch-ctypes-callproc.patch`](https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/blob/main/cpython-unix/patch-ctypes-callproc.patch)
The macOS code for sniffing for _dyld_shared_cache_contains_path falls back on a possibly inappropriate code path if a configure time check fails.
This patch fixes the fallback behavior for cross-compiling scenarios. See https://bugs.python.org/issue44689
