Python -VV should display whether the build is default build or free-threading. #119132
Description
Currently, there is no way to identify whether the build is free-threaded or not through python -VV
See the pyperf and pyperformance case
- no-issue: Update CI to support free-threading psf/pyperf#189
- no-issue: Improve CI for free-threading pyperformance#336
The following display would be great.
Python 3.14.0a0 (heads/main-dirty:31a28cbae0, May 17 2024, 17:30:32, default) [GCC 14.1.1 20240507 (Red Hat 14.1.1-1)]
Python 3.14.0a0 (heads/main-dirty:31a28cbae0, May 17 2024, 17:30:32, free-threading) [GCC 14.1.1 20240507 (Red Hat 14.1.1-1)]
