Apparently, I have completely forgotten that on Python < 3.9, we do patch distutils in one more way: We replace /usr/lib with /usr/lib64 on 64bit architectures.

See our patches:

• Python 3.8: fedora-python/cpython@31397a8
• Python 3.7: fedora-python/cpython@76a09bc

I am opening this issue to track this problem. I don't expect you to fix it, I plan to have a look, but not today.
