Summary: distutils doesn't notice --with-pydebug

Initial Comment:
As it stands (as of r50921), building a C extension
module first with a debug build of Python (built with
--with-pydebug), then with a regular Python build
(without --with-pydebug) does not cause distutils to
recompile the extension module as it should. This leads
to undefined symbol errors at runtime when the module
is loaded.

The attached patch against
Lib/distutils/command/build.py causes
distutils.command.build to append '-pydebug' to the
platform-specific directory name  (e.g.,
'linux-i686-2.5') if Python was compiled with
--with-pydebug.
