No wheels for NumPy 2.3.0 on amazon linux 2 AWS lambda image

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use the public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.11 Docker base image.
2. In a Dockerfile, copy in a requirements.txt containing numpy
3. Run pip install -r requirements.txt.
4. Observe that pip falls back to building NumPy 2.3.0 from source and fails due to missing C compiler.

No response

Start with the Dockerfile using public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.11 and the requirements.txt containing numpy, then reproduce the pip install failure. Check the available NumPy 2.3.0 distributions for this environment and the package’s wheel-building or release configuration. Done means pip can install NumPy in the stated Lambda image without requiring an unavailable compiler.
