Currently, inspect.getfile(str) will report nonsense:

>>> inspect.getfile(str)
TypeError: <module 'builtins' (built-in)> is a built-in class
msg345018 - (view) Author: Terry J. Reedy (terry.reedy) * (Python committer) Date: 2019-06-08 02:47
The correct message would be
"<class 'str'> is a built-in class"

We do not backport exception message changes unless 'buggy enough'.  I asked on core-mentorship whether this fix qualifies.

I think landing the fix to 3.8 only is just fine

Right, 3.8 not being released yet makes it different.
