Research direction

Compare the behavior of python-config --libs with pkgconfig python --libs, then review the proposed 32143cda4d80.diff file referenced in the issue. Check the existing build-related tests or validation for these commands and confirm that both interfaces produce consistent library flags without carrying over the separate issue #21660 changes.
