Description

libpython3-staticdev has been hardcoded to Python install directory path on layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-devtools/python/python3_3.7.4.bb, such as on line 311:

FILES_libpython3-staticdev += "${prefix}/lib/python${PYTHON_MAJMIN}/config-${PYTHON_BINABI}-*/libpython${PYTHON_BINABI}.a"

This causes Python to attempt installing scripts in /lib/ instead of /lib64/. In Python3.5 the path is

FILES_libpython3-staticdev += "${libdir}/python${PYTHON_MAJMIN}/config-${PYTHON_BINABI}/libpython${PYTHON_BINABI}.a" 

Steps to Reproduce

compile a LTS19 project including python and libpython3-staticdev
use the following steps:

test# cat setup.py
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name="HelloWorld",
version="0.1",
packages=find_packages(),
)
asp-1b:~/test# python3 setup.py sdist
running sdist
running egg_info
creating HelloWorld.egg-info
writing HelloWorld.egg-info/PKG-INFO
writing dependency_links to HelloWorld.egg-info/dependency_links.txt
writing top-level names to HelloWorld.egg-info/top_level.txt
writing manifest file 'HelloWorld.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'
reading manifest file 'HelloWorld.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'
writing manifest file 'HelloWorld.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'
warning: sdist: standard file not found: should have one of README, README.rst, README.txt, README.md

running check
