Vendored distutils incompatible with Python 3.5
See original GitHub issueAs part of setuptools 50.0, the vendored (“local”) distutils implementation has been chosen over the stdlib version.
Looking at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/17cb9d6bf249cefe653d3bdb712582409035a7db/setuptools/_distutils/util.py#L423 we see that subprocess._optim_args_from_interpreter_flags() is called. However, this is not present on Python 3.5.

Thank you for the patched build. The fix works insofar that it no longer fails on due to the AttributeError. It instead fails in a way that I believe to be issue https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2352
I’ve pushed a compatibility change for the reported issue. Can you test with this patched build in the environment that failed and report if there are any other incompatibilities?
