[New-bugs-announce] [issue39066] Expose SOABI setting in the header

[Ben Boeckel]

New submission from Ben Boeckel <mathstuf+bpo at gmail.com>:

Currently, the SOABI suffix is only available by running the Python interpreter to ask `sysconfig` about the setting. This complicates cross compilation because the target platform's Python may not be runnable on the build platform. Exposing this in the header would allow for build processes to know what suffix to add to modules without having to run the interpreter.
