The build system is being helpful and automatically adding the compiled
.pyc file for every .py file listed in the manifest:

It's doing the right thing - mangled is only for files mangled by the
userland-mangler build tool. The rest should be under build/prototype/i386
as you have (note that it's looking for usr/... as the path under there).

You might look at what the Solaris build of meld does - but it's still using
Python 3.7 (I think just because it was updated before there were 3.9 versions
of all the dependencies available in Solaris):
