Danny Milosavljevic:

I'm trying to package pypy3.3 for the Guix distribution.

In the course of that I found that pypy3.3-v5.2.0-alpha1-src/lib-python/3/distutils/sysconfig_pypy.py doesn't honor the compiler environment variables ("CC" etc) like sysconfig_cpython.py does. Is that on purpose? If not, find attached a patch which makes it honor the variables (I have tested it and it works).
