Basically, when building on Mac, Python should enable computed gotos by default, because it is supported (https://stackoverflow.com/a/62037189/2142577).

The documentation(https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.2.html#build-and-c-api-changes) says
> Computed gotos are now enabled by default on supported compilers (which are detected by the configure script). They can still be disabled selectively by specifying --without-computed-gotos.

This seems to imply that the capability detection is wrong.
