Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked ensurepip_prefix.diff and the ensurepip implementation in CPython, then inspect PRs 17634, 19068, and gh-135488 for the current state. Done means ensurepip respects the configured $(prefix) during cross-builds, with the relevant regression coverage updated or added.
