The problem is when ./configure tries to use distutils from python 3.12:

$ python3.12 -c 'from sys import stdout; import distutils.sysconfig; stdout.write(distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(plat_specific=1, standard_lib=1) +"/config")'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package mod-wsgi - 4.9.4-1ubuntu1

---------------
mod-wsgi (4.9.4-1ubuntu1) noble; urgency=medium

  * d/p/no-more-distutils.patch: Migrate from distutils to setuptools +
    sysconfig since python 3.12 dropped distutils (LP: #2045416)
