During package testing for the Gentoo audio overlay I've experienced a build failure when using Python 3.11 to run waf:

'PYTHONHASHSEED=1' 'CCFLAGS=-march=native -O2 -pipe -Wodr -frecord-gcc-switches' 'LINKFLAGS=-march=native -O2 -pipe -Wodr -frecord-gcc-switches -march=native -O2 -pipe -Wodr -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--defsym=__gentoo_check_ldflags__=0' 'PKGCONFIG=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config' '/var/tmp/portage/media-plugins/bitrot-9999/work/bitrot-9999/waf' '--jobs=1' '--prefix=/usr' 'configure'

I get the same issue when running waf outside of the packaging environment:

[nex@laptop bitrot]$ python3.11 waf configure

I assume this might require either a waf update or adjustments in the wscript.

Probably needs a waf update since Python 3.11 dropped the U mode. Feel free to open a PR!
