Research direction

Start by reviewing linker-wrapper.sh and the bare Python invocation that fails on macOS 12.3. Reproduce or inspect the failure in that environment, then verify that the wrapper completes without requiring the removed python command.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

After updating the macOS to 12.3, linker-wrapper.sh does not find the python command since python 2.7 is no longer bundled with the OS.
