Note that the C/C++ handling can come from plain `distutils`, but it should
work the same. Here's a PR that fixes the Windows wheel builds for SciPy
for a Pythran issue by using CXXFLAGS:
https://github.com/MacPython/scipy-wheels/pull/122.

The CPython bug tracker is full of noise about this kind of env var
handling, nothing conclusive as far as I know. It's of course possible that
it's broken under some circumstances (or in `setuptools.distutils`). There
are no tests for this in CPython it looks like.

Cheers,
Ralf
