I also see other issues popping up, first in python3-installer-native.

Probably this setting ("python-freethreading") should be a
DISTRO_FEATURE and then the python3 recipe would use that
to enable its PACKAGECONFIG.

PYTHON_DIR in python-dir.bbclass should also be set accordingly.

I suspect that both native and target builds of python3 would have
to use the same setting, i.e. DISTRO_FEATURE and DISTRO_FEATURE_NATIVE
must contain python-freethreading. Some build helpers (skbuild, etc.)
does not seem to distinguish correctly between host python and target.
