[Distutils] Runtime library directories

[A.M. Kuchling]

Something I noticed this evening: unixccompiler.py uses -R<dir> for
runtime library directives.  That's good syntax for ld, but is it good
syntax for C compilers?  GCC requires -Wl,-R<dir> instead to pass it
to the linker; is this standard for Unix C compilers?  I suspect this
patch below would be too simple to fix the problem, so how to fix
this?
