Antoine has a point there. Together with the problems I mentioned
with non-mainstream platforms, it would be better to use a compile
time definition of the platform tag as you've chosen for Windows.
PEP 425 unfortunately ignores the mentioned problems of get_platform().

You may have misread my comment. There's no need to add the Python
tag to the extension tag, only the ABI tag (with flags) and the
platform tag to determine bitness:
spam.cp35m-win_amd64.pyd
Could you explain what replacing the _d suffix with a "d" ABI flag
would break ?
To be clear, this would mean:
spam.cp35dm-win_amd64.pyd
instead of
spam_d.cp35m-win_amd64.pyd
