Unable to run Makefile correctly on macOS x86 #144

Describe the bug I'm trying to run make over python3.10 using my intel MacBook. https://github.com/beeware/Python-Apple-support/tree/3.10

After running make in the same folder, the stdout ends with this:

# Configure target Python
cd build/macOS/Python-3.10.0-macOS && MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.8 ./configure --prefix=/Users/rdv/Downloads/Python-Apple-support-3.10/build/macOS/Python-3.10.0-macOS/dist --without-doc-strings --enable-ipv6 --without-ensurepip --enable-universalsdk --with-universal-archs=universal2

The output says to open a bug report. Any insight why this is happening?

Environment: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), 2,3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB macOS Monterey 12.3.1 (21E258)

I've seen this error myself; The underlying problem is that Xcode 13.3 made a change that destroyed the ability to compile Python. This has been fixed in the Python sources, but it means we need to make a parallel change in the build scripts for this support package.

The additional complication is that we also have a high priority need to fix #131 and #133, and the fixes for all three bugs are somewhat intertwined (I saw this bug in the process of fixing #131 and #133, which is why I didn't report it separately).

The good news is that I am working of a fix, and I hope to have something in the next few days. The bad news is that it will also require some structural changes to your Xcode project; fixing #133 requires also addressing #120.

To be fair this is only happening on my intel development machine. I have been running the same script on an ARM Mac mini and it works fine but it was using macOS 12.0.1 (with probably an older Xcode).

Currently I am not planning to use python in an Xcode project, I'm just trying to produce a python distribution that can be embedded in a client machine. I think it would be useful in general to be able to simply download python in a folder and start running scripts and start webservers/interfaces directly on a client machine, like you can currently do with the Windows Embeddable Package, without the need to use Xcode for it.

Thank you so much for the help, and feel free to close this issue if you think it's already tracked elsewhere.
