I guess python3-config from sysroot-cross should be used, but there is
only python3.13-config. So I wonder whether

A) there is a symlink (or copy) missing:
   sysroot-cross/usr/bin/python3-config -> python3.13-config

B) libgpiod's configure.ac has to be patched:
   -python3-config
   +python3.13-config
