Ned Deily added the comment:
There is a problem with the current implementation. When running ./configure
using compilers other than a current gcc, for example, when using clang or
older versions of gcc, the build variable MULTIARCH may not get set because
those compilers do not support --print-multiarch:
configure.ac:744
MULTIARCH=$($CC --print-multiarch 2>/dev/null)
But, a bit later in ./configure, PLATFORM_TRIPLET gets set as a result of
running conftest.c. The end result is that PLATFORM_TRIPET is non-empty but
MULTIARCH is empty. Still later in configure.ac (around 4477:
if test x$PLATFORM_TRIPLET = x; then
LIBPL='$(prefix)'"/lib/python${VERSION}/config-${LDVERSION}"
else
LIBPL='$(prefix)'"/lib/python${VERSION}/config-${LDVERSION}-${PLATFORM_TRIPLET}"
fi
So, the value of LIBPL is extended to include PLATFORM_TRIPLET regardless of
whether MULTIARCH has a value.
This causes problems at runtime because get_makefile_filename() in
Lib/sysconfig.py now uses the value of sys.implemntation's _multiarch attribute
(whose value is compiled in sysmodule.c from MULTIARCH) to form the path to the
config directory (the equivalent of LIBPL). In these cases, sys.implementation
will have no_multiarch attribute so sysconfig looks for the config directory in
the pre-3.6 location (e.g. .../lib/python3.6/config-3.6m) even though it was
installed in the new location (.../lib/python3.6/config-3.6m-darwin).
Fortunately, both test_sysconfig and test_distutils catch this:

I'm not sure what the best solution is.
