Comment:
I'm not exactly sure what `automake` is trying to accomplish here. If you rebuild `xcb-proto` with your patched `automake`, which of the following lines do you see in `/usr/lib/pkgconfig/xcb-proto.pc`?
- `pythondir=${pc_sysrootdir}/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages`, or
- `pythondir=${pc_sysrootdir}${prefix}/lib/python3.10/site-packages`

The latter is what currently appears in the `xcb-proto` package.

In `polybar`, what happens if you `export PYTHON_PREFIX=/usr` either outside of any function or in a `pre_configure` function? Will `pkg-config` to the right thing?
