    Research direction

    Start with the configure entry point and the reported CFLAGS="-Werror -Wall" scenario. Review the existing python/cpython#3949 work to understand the proposed detection change and its validation. Done means configure correctly detects fchdir() with these flags without regressing other build checks.
