Maybe this helps - having a clean build system (that can be trashed, as the Try and Buy compiler can not be reinstalled - they hide it's history that it was installed "somewhere")
especially with a build systems that is "lowest level" supported by your environment!
Build there (as wheels), then rename (aka link) on the target host using this first draft -
#!/usr/bin/env python3

And, as I am looking at a more economical way to support aixtools - I am going to experiment, at least as far as python goes - with opening issues on
https://github.com/aixtools/cpython - for things that can be solved via packaging (of Python).
I guess I'll do the same with
https://github.com/aixtools/packaging (which is pypa (aka pip et al)) related.
