Research direction

Read the linked BPO issue 43229 and inspect CPython's build-related code for the freeze step. Reproduce the Python 3.9 behavior on a system where the library is under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, then verify that the search uses the correct location without breaking other platforms.
