pyinstaller 4.2 failed (during its runtime) to create exes (worked with cpython 3.9.10, but not with cpython 3.9.11):

Unable to find "C:\python3\Include\pyconfig.h" when adding binary and data files.This would mean your Python installation doesn't
come with proper library files. This usually happens by missing development
package, or unsuitable build parameters of Python installation.
* On Debian/Ubuntu, you would need to install Python development packages
* apt-get install python3-dev
* apt-get install python-dev
* If you're building Python by yourself, please rebuild your Python with
`--enable-shared` (or, `--enable-framework` on Darwin)

Looks like this might be fixed in pyinstaller 4.3 (we are using 4.2):
https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/pull/5218
-----
While trying to update pyinstaller to have that fix, several issues found with versions 4.3-4.10,
now reported upstream and already fixed:
https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6338https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6339https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6686
So the pyinstaller commit pinned here is from the stable "v4" branch, some commits after the 4.10 tag,
which has fixes for the above issues.
with wine 6.0.2 and 6.0.3, cpython 3.9.11 fails to install (but cpython 3.9.10 worked)
```

btw, related note:
After changing the Dockerfile, building the docker image from cache failed. Setting ELECBUILD_NOCACHE=1 fixed it:
```
E: Could not configure 'libc6:i386'.
E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libgcc-s1:i386'. Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)
$ ELECBUILD_NOCACHE=1 ./contrib/build-wine/build.sh
```
Had to also bump ubuntu version 18.04->20.04,
as was getting errors running the self-compiled pyinstaller otherwise (weird...):
```
from .utils.git import get_repo_revision
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyInstaller.utils'
```
(similar to https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/4403 )

Note re appimage: when trying to compile python 3.8.x on ubuntu 16.04, I am getting:
./Modules/posixmodule.c: In function ‘os_copy_file_range_impl’:
./Modules/posixmodule.c:10351:15: error: implicit declaration of function ‘copy_file_range’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
ret = copy_file_range(src, p_offset_src, dst, p_offset_dst, count, flags);
This is because ubuntu 16.04 has too old glibc.
If there is a collision between a branch name and a commit hash, git
will choose the branch, even if the full 40-hex-long commit hash is
given. GitHub disallows branches/tags with such a name but git itself
does not. By adding the `^{commit}` syntax sugar after a ref name,
we can tell git that we want the commit hash to be preferred,
and hence we don't need to trust GitHub (only git).
see https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/225411/
All (incl indirect) dependencies are already listed in deterministic-build/requirements*.txt.
This option makes it easier to manually rm a dependency from that list for e.g. testing.
This suppresses the pip script location warnings, like we already
do for AppImage. It also disables the Wine debugging messages by
setting WINEDEBUG=-all.
