Compiling 3.13.1 fails when /usr/local/include/pyconfig.h is outdated

Compiling Python 3.13.1 with

My /usr/local/include/pyconfig.h is from 2016! After removing it, the compilation progresses.

• Building Python should not depend on /usr/local/include/pyconfig.h or /usr/include/pyconfig.h, installed from previous Python versions.

首先复现 configure 和 make 命令，然后检查生成的 Makefile 以及通过 Include/Python.h、Include/unicodeobject.h 和 Include/cpython/unicodeobject.h 的包含链。检查在构建 Modules/binascii.c 时如何选择 /usr/local/include/pyconfig.h。当构建 Python 不再依赖过时的系统 pyconfig.h 文件时，即表示完成。
