Thanks for reporting this issue @rwmjones - I guess it's time to switch to setuptools. If you are fluent in porting from Distutils, I'm happy to accept a PR, but I'll also look into it.
Well, it looks straight forward... I guess that needs some tests...

@rwmjones OK. I anyway planned to update the toolchain and now got rid of distutils (WorksForMe(tm) See latest push to devel. Commit e0374b52421ef291b14fc12bdfa2d3bf65fec3be
This bug was filed downstream: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2154944
Unfortunately I'm waiting on build logs. However the apparent cause is that libdnet uses a Python module called
distutils
which will be completely removed in Python 3.12, so it seems like it's a real problem that will affect libdnet in future.
