So after wxPython failed to build with the current setuptools, it fell 
back to 44. That might be too old for us, although it appears to have 
worked despite the failure message. In any case, setuptools recommends 
pinning their dependency to 58 for those projects still using setup.py, 
since after that such functionality became collateral damage whilst 
implementing more of PEP-517 support.

Additionally, farther down the log, you don't need to copy all of 
chirp/share, since they are now part of the package and referenced 
accordingly via importlib_resources. The only files that should get 
installed into the respective hierarchy directories are chirp.desktop to 
share/applications and chirp.png (and maybe chirp.svg) to share/pixmaps 
(or whatever icon directory).
