Ronald Oussoren added the comment:
I had a patch that only changed distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('CFLAGS')
when not building python, but then noticed that this doesn't work: the setup.py
file for stdlib extensions fetches information from the toplevel sysconfig
file, not distutils.sysconfig and uses that to override some information (look
for "make CC=altcc").
There are two problems there, for which I'll file separate issues:
1) setup.py shouldn't use sysconfig but distutils.sysconfig
2) the block of code that I mentioned earlier is not necessary at all, the
comment is plain wrong (tested by removing the compiler update and running
'make CC=no-such-file')
V2 of the hack triggers the change of BASECFLAGS only when not building the
stdlib, but that doesn't work right now because of the issues mentioned earlier.
