[Distutils] compilation error (multiple compilations)

[Keith Jackson]

FYI, we finally figured this out sort of. The problem arises when a 
list containing only the empty string is passed into the 
extra_compile_args argument to Extension. This came up since we're 
getting some CFLAGS settings from the package we're wrapping. A simple 
check to ensure we have a real value for this solves the problem.

I still have no clue why this happens though. Just thought I'd send out 
a response in case this bites anyone else.
