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

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org> added the comment:

python.o is installed by "make libainstall". It is done since 2001 (commit 85515ad9795ffc3b676cbddeeea2b003818a2623).

    Merge p3yk branch with the trunk up to revision 45595. This breaks a fair
    number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
    here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):

    Move all knowledge that $(MAINOBJ) is built in the Modules/ directory
    into Makefile.pre.in; the configure script will only determine the basename
    of the file.
    
    This fixes installation of a Python built using C++, reported by Greg
    Wilson.

    Flat makefile based on toplevel Makefile.in and makefiles in build
    subdirectories.  Those other makefiles will go away eventually.

+       $(INSTALL_DATA) Modules/python.o $(LIBPL)/python.o
