Summary: CPPFLAGS should not be aded to ldshard command

Initial Comment:
CPPFLAGS contains flags for the C preprocessor.  It has
no business being added to the ldshared command (this
is in sysconfig.py).  In fact, it may be harmful since
the ldshared command may well be ld with some flags
which typically does not understand cpp flags.

Irix where the ldshared command is "ld  -shared -all"
is a good example of where it is plain wrong to add
CPPFLAGS.
