[issue5572] distutils ignores the LIBS configure env var

[Collin Winter]

New submission from Collin Winter <collinw at gmail.com>:

If you pass LIBS to ./configure (as in "LIBS=-lgcov ./configure"),
distutils ignores this when building extension modules, which breaks
when using certain gcc options which require certain libraries (I'm
thinking of -fprofile-generate). The attached patch remedies this.
