Pyenv unable to install any Python versions under macOS Monterey 12.2.1: "checking for the platform triplet based on compiler characteristics... darwin", "internal configure error for the platform triplet" #2284
Description
Pyenv had been working for me without issue for years. Not sure what happened (or what I did) that led to it suddenly not able to install any versions. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling pyenv to no avail. Would appreciate any assistance, the output said to file a bug report.

I tried specifying to use the zlib from homebrew based on the instructions listed in Common Build Problems and got the same error:
CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix zlib)/include" pyenv install 3.8.12also tried specifying gcc as the CC but got the same error:
CC=gcc pyenv install 3.8.12also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the xcode command line tools for mac but got the same error.
