Trying to build 5.10.0 on Windows getting PyCapsule_GetPointer error at runtime.

[Andrew Cunningham]

For various reasons I need to build an older version of PyQt5 ( 5.10.0) on
windows.
QT version is 5.12.7 (64-bit)
Steps to make this happen

   - Clean python 3.7 installation( no existing SIP or PyQt5)
   - Build and install SIP 4.19.23
   - configure D:\PyQt5_commercial-5.10, build  and install


Yet I get "ValueError: PyCapsule_GetPointer called with incorrect name"
when trying to execute any PyQt5 code

>>> from PyQt5.QtWidgets import  QInputDialog,QLineEdit
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: PyCapsule_GetPointer called with incorrect name


How can this happen when I am using the same versions of sip? It seems that
error only occurs when using incompatible SIP versions.

Initial output of configure
