I've submitted a build on the buildbots here: https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/changes/3354

I haven't reviewed this in-detail, but this all looks reasonable after a ten-minute review. Unless someone has objections, it should be applied

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Buildbot failure ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Hi! The buildbot PPC64LE RHEL8 LTO + PGO 3.x has failed when building commit 73b20ae.

What do you need to do:

1. Don't panic.
2. Check the buildbot page in the devguide if you don't know what the buildbots are or how they work.
3. Go to the page of the buildbot that failed (https://buildbot.python.org/all/#builders/458/builds/1279) and take a look at the build logs.
4. Check if the failure is related to this commit (73b20ae) or if it is a false positive.
5. If the failure is related to this commit, please, reflect that on the issue and make a new Pull Request with a fix.

You can take a look at the buildbot page here:
