`SAGE_LOCAL/lib/python/config/Makefile`. [...]
Cf. #9896. Python's Makefile and {{{pyconfig.h}}} define lots of
variables that contain hard-coded paths. These all go into
{{{distutils.sysconfig.get_config_vars()}}} (a dictionary), but only some
are used, and not all obsolete paths are actually harmful.
My patch to {{{devel/sage/setup.py}}} at #9896 e.g. just fixes invalid /
obsolete library search directories coded into distutils' dynamic linker
'''command'''(!) (on Darwin).
An alternative is to patch distutils itself.
