[Patches] Fix building extensions on Solaris

[Greg Ward]

This patch fixes Python's "configure.in" so that extensions are linked
with "gcc -G" on Solaris when GCC is the compiler.

It does not take the Solaris or GCC version into account, so I have no
idea how widely applicable it is.  This is just a strawman to get some
feedback.
