Building Python 3.12.11 on Linux makes 2 copes of very large libpython3.12.a file

Bug report

Bug description:

When I build Python 3.12.11 from source code on Linux, the result includes 2 copies of the libpython3.12.a file which is about 56 megabytes in size!

File locations

• <prefix>/lib/libpython3.12.a
• <prefix>/lib/python3.12/config-3.12-x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.12.a

I presume one of those is supposed to be a symbolic link to the other, or maybe the entire <prefix>/lib/python3.12/config-3.12-x86_64-linux-gnu directory is not supposed to be included in the installation?

Is this something that everyone is experiencing, or am I likely doing something wrong that is causing this to happen for me?

CPython versions tested on:

3.12

Operating systems tested on:

Linux

首先在 Linux 上复现 Python 3.12.11 的源代码构建，并检查报告的两个 libpython3.12.a 位置：/lib 和 /lib/python3.12/config-3.12-x86_64-linux-gnu。比较已安装的文件以及构建或安装行为，以确定重复文件是否符合预期。当问题得到解释，或安装产生预期的单副本布局时，即表示完成。
