This is essentially a duplicate of Issue3467 and various other similar issues.  
While it may not be easy to justify the special case in setup.py for OS X (the 
reason was primarily for OS X installer builds), it would be even harder to 
justify adding another special case just for "Linux" systems.  Why not all 
platforms and libs?  The standard reply (in Issue3467 and elsewhere) to these 
kinds of requests has been to use one of the Modules/Setup files (like 
Setup.local) to customize extension module builds or to come up with a more 
general solution for the top-level setup.py third-party library configuration, 
rather than more special cases for each lib.
