[issue42307] make install must not copy python.o into $prefix/lib/python3.10/config-3.10-x86_64-linux-gnu/

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org>:

Commands reproduce the issue:

cd /path/to/python/source/
./configure --prefix /opt/pymaster CFLAGS="-O0"
make
make install

make install copies python.o:

$ find /opt/pymaster/ -name "*.o"
/opt/pymaster/lib/python3.10/config-3.10-x86_64-linux-gnu/python.o

This file is useless and must not be installed by make install.
