Compiling python 3.12 with bzip2

[Xisco Fauli]

Hello,

In https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/178681 I'm trying to upgrade 
internal python to 3.11. Unfortunately it fails to link _bz2 extension 
(added in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/157101) with bzip2 and 
when I try to import bz2 it fails with:

 >>> import bz2
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File 
"/home/xisco/libreoffice/instdir/program/python-core-3.11.11/lib/bz2.py", 
line 17, in <module>
     from _bz2 import BZ2Compressor, BZ2Decompressor
ImportError: 
/home/xisco/libreoffice/instdir/program/python-core-3.11.11/lib/lib-dynload/_bz2.cpython-3.11.so: 
undefined symbol: BZ2_bzDecompressInit

Surprisingly, it doesn't happen with python 3.10 and if I 
replace instdir/program/python-core-3.11.11/lib/lib-dynload/_bz2.cpython-3.11.so 
with 
instdir/program/python-core-3.10.16/lib/lib-dynload/_bz2.cpython-3.10.so 
it works. The _bz2 extension is compiled with

/usr/bin/ccache gcc 
-I/home/xisco/libreoffice/workdir/UnpackedTarball/bzip2 
-I/home/xisco/libreoffice/workdir/UnpackedTarball/expat/lib -fPIC

and

/usr/bin/ccache gcc 
-I/home/xisco/libreoffice/workdir/UnpackedTarball/bzip2

-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -L/usr/local/lib -o 
build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.11/_bz2.cpython-3.11.so


Any idea how to fix it ?
