The Setuptools project is adopting distutils from the Python standard library.
It’s doing this to unify the implementation and allow it to evolve again.
In Setuptools 48 and Setuptools 50, Setuptools made the adopted distutils the
default (causing “import distutils” to resolve to `setuptools._distutils` and
thus bypass any patches that may have been applied to distutils as found in the
stdlib) with an escape hatch: by setting SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib. Due
to incompatibilities identified with this ereleases, the behavior of using the
local distutils by default was rolled back.
In about a week’s time, Setuptools will make the local distutils the default
again. Users can preview the behavior on existing releases by setting
SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=local and opt out with the escape hatch.
Until recently, no one from the Cygwin project has reached out, but recently,
mkoeppe did mention the concern leading to the filing of
https://github.com/pypa/distutils/issues/73.
The Setuptools/distutils project would be happy to facilitate supporting Cygwin
in the new environment without monkey patching, either through direct support
of the platform or through hooks that allow the platform to customize the
behavior (and probably a mix). Please reach out on the issue to uncover any
emergent issues and to devise a design for long term support.

Hi Jason,
currently we are not using any patch on SetupTools
Last I packaged is 59.5.0 for python 3.6 to 3.9
https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/python-setuptools-src.html
there are several patches on Python source that include the distutil portion
I just updated the patches used on last binaries on :
http://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/python39.git
http://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/python39.git
they are almost identical
General information on our python packages are also on:
