[pypy-issue] [issue1057] Be more careful about selecting the compiler in distutils

[Dirkjan Ochtman]

New submission from Dirkjan Ochtman <dirkjan at ochtman.nl>:

distutils of PyPy incorrectly handles CFLAGS as 1 argument instead of
space-separated list of arguments. distutils should respect environment
variables, which set compiler, linker etc.
