[Distutils] Distutils.sysconfig.customize_compiler wrong ?

[rupert.thurner]

ah ... found it. but i do not make any progress with debugging.
somehow it seems to use the correct compiler while compiling but not
when linking.

/cs/SUNWspro/bin/cc -DNDEBUG -O -xO3 -xarch=v8 -DHAVE_LIBJPEG -
DHAVE_LIBZ -DWORDS_BIGENDIAN -I/opt/csw/include/freetype2 -IlibImaging
-I/opt/csw/include -I/usr/include -I/opt/csw/include/python2.6 -c
libImaging/ZipEncode.c -o build/temp.solaris-2.10-sun4v-2.6/libImaging/
ZipEncode.o
/opt/studio/SOS11/SUNWspro/bin/cc -G build/temp.solaris-2.10-sun4v-2.6/
_imaging.o build/temp.solaris-2.10-sun4v-2.6/decode.o
<cut> ...
-L/usr/lib -ljpeg -lz -lpython2.6 -o build/lib.solaris-2.10-sun4v-2.6/
_imaging.so

rupert.
