[issue39699] Ubuntu Github action not fully running build process

[Ammar Askar]

New submission from Ammar Askar <ammar at ammaraskar.com>:

I think the Github action for building CPython on Ubuntu is accidentally caching the built Python files.

If we take a look at: https://github.com/python/cpython/runs/455936632#step:7:1
and
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/18567/checks?check_run_id=457662461#step:8:1

It seems like it's running way too fast (and producing too little output) to actually be building all of CPython.

Adding Steve who originally authored the action to the nosy list to see if they might have any insight.
