What matters in test_cppext is that using the Python C API in C++ does
not emit compiler warnings, so it uses -Werror. Since this test is
very new, I would prefer to not block the Python build just because of
that. Moreover, I'm not sure that I want to require a C++ compiler to
build CPython (written in C).

But yeah, something can be done in Makefile :-)

See Tools/peg_generator/pegen/build.py file. The test builds C
extensions and then execute them.

Sure, there is no need to rush it now. But I prefer to discuss the
change as soon as possible (in the 3.12 dev cycle), to make sure that
we are aware of all issues, and have more time to fix them.
