Takes python/cpython#132901

Needs to be backported to 3.13, etc.

This doesn't seem to work on aarch64 Linux? (more on this at python/cpython#132901 (comment))

❯ docker run -it -v ./python:/python ubuntu:latest /bin/bash
root@20b506c09fbd:/# /python/install/bin/python -c "import uuid; print(uuid.getnode())"
276090243745164
root@20b506c09fbd:/# /python/install/bin/python -c "import uuid; print(uuid.getnode())"

and something is wrong with the patch on x86-64 macOS (I tested aarch64 macOS locally).
