Distutils *does* try to call the right CC compiler (that is, the 
compiler the Python itself was built with), unless the 
module/package/distribution's setup.py overrides it.  If it is using C++ 
code, though, you may have to override that yourself since Python itself 
does not contain any C++ code and I don't think there is any special 
code in Distutils to override C++ stuff.

For the any C++ modules, you may need to override the C++ compiler 
choice by using a CXX environment variable.

What OS version are you trying this on, BTW?
