Description
Every time I'm trying to build python with all modules it failing on tkinter.
Main reason is missing libx11-dev package but even if I install libx11-dev package it's still failing because of "1 problematic" issue with tkinter.

Research direction
Start by comparing the two attached 13-tk.log builds, then reproduce the portable-python command shown for Python 3.9.12 with and without libx11-dev. Trace why _tkinter is reported as absent or failed; done means the tkinter module builds successfully in the demonstrated configuration.
