Distutils package was removed in python version 3.12, as it was already was deprecated in Python 3.10 by PEP 632 “Deprecate distutils module”, so building is faling

checking for a version of Python >= '2.1.0'... yes
checking for the distutils Python package... no
configure: error: cannot import Python module "distutils".
Please check your Python installation. The error was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
