New issue by newbluemoon on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/33559

Description:
automake 1.16.4 made some changes to `python.m4` which leads to `$PYTHON_PREFIX` instead of `$prefix` ending up in pkg-config .pc files.

So far I have found two:

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/compizconfig-python.pc has a line
`pyexecdir=${PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX}/lib/python3.10/site-packages`

and 

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/xcb-proto.pc has
`pythondir=${pc_sysrootdir}${PYTHON_PREFIX}/lib/python3.10/site-packages`

xcb-proto is a dependency of polybar which fails to build right now because `$PYTHON_PREFIX` cannot be resolved.

There is a newer automake 1.16.5 where they again made some changes to `python.m4`, but the problem consists.
I found following patch (against 1.16.5) solves it (it actually reverts the lines to what they were before the change):

But I’m not sure about any implications. I filed a bug report upstream and as soon as it appears on their mailing list I will post the link.

The problematic commits are the ones from 2021-05-18 and 2021-09-19.
