gdb/python-config: replace deprecated distutils.sysconfig
When running the gdb/configure script on ubuntu 22.04 with
python-3.10.4, I see:

The distutils module is deprecated as per the PEP 632[1] and will be
removed in python-3.12.
This patch migrates gdb/python/python-config.py from distutils.sysconfig
to the sysconfig module[2].
The sysconfig module has has been introduced in the standard library in
python 3.2. Given that support for python < 3.2 has been removed by
edae3fd6600f: "gdb/python: remove Python 2 support", this patch does not
need to support both implementations for backward compatibility.
Tested on ubuntu-22.04 and ubuntu 20.04.

I'll give it a try...
We've updated rawhide with fixes for this issue as well as some which fix problems introduced by GCC 13. I've done a mock build using your provided instructions. It works for me, but we'd prefer that you try it before closing this bug. Works also in Python 3.12 COPR, thank you. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.12/build/5284551/ |
gdb fails to build with Python 3.12.0a3. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/builddir/build/BUILD/gdb-12.1/build-x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/gdb/../../gdb/python/python-config.py", line 7, in <module> from distutils import sysconfig ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils' Remove the distutils package. It was deprecated in Python 3.10 by PEP 632 “Deprecate distutils module”. For projects still using distutils and cannot be updated to something else, the setuptools project can be installed: it still provides distutils. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-92584.) https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.12.html For the build logs, see: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.12/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/05127792-gdb/ For all our attempts to build gdb with Python 3.12, see: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.12/package/gdb/ Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.12: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.12/ Let us know here if you have any questions. Python 3.12 is planned to be included in Fedora 39. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.12. A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon. We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.
