Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:

I meant I don't think we want that path upstream, and you should keep it as 
your own patch.

We don't have a "share" directory as part of CPython, but this would codify it. 
That would then conflict with your use of it in conda-forge.

It also makes sysconfig non-deterministic, which is going to be problematic 
against some other efforts around being able to treat it as static data to make 
native module compilation easier, as well as more generally something that 
often leads to security vulnerabilities and is best avoided.

So on balance, I think we will reject that patch.
