This PR is based on #3698 rebased on top of master and the NEWS entries tidied up a bit. I haven't tested it yet as of recently thus the WIP in the title.

This looks like a good fix regardless of the lib/lib64/debian-triplet question!

Maybe open a distinct ticket and cherry-pick this change in a PR?

There was already https://bugs.python.org/issue21016 issue for that and I proposed a separted PR: #18476

@stratakis, thank you for opening this to continue the work from #3698. Please fix the merge conflicts and that will retrigger the CI builds. Thanks!

This introduces a new configure and sysconfig variable `platsubdir`,
which is the name of subdirectory of $prefix that holds
platform-specific libraries. On many Linux distributions, there is
separation between /usr/lib and /usr/lib64, which was causing some
problems due to the way Python manages its install paths. Now, platsubdir
is used to select the appropriate lib directory.
