As a side-comment, is there any simple way to specify a _particular_ compiler/linker for a build in distutils? Something along the lines of
CXX = g++ Currently not supported. Here is the source code snippet from build_ext.py: # XXX and if we support CFLAGS, why not CC (compiler # executable), CPPFLAGS (pre-processor options), and LDFLAGS # (linker options) too?
Workarounds: make an alias or a link from cc to gcc Bastian
