Yes. And YOU were the one who installed a new root Python. This is a
feature. You have the power to update Python on your system.

You managed to make a build of Python that attempts to link to a DLL
using a relative path. That's a fault of the build that means it won't
work as root. I don't understand the confusion here; isn't the
solution here to build a new version with an absolute path, and update
your installation?
