[issue10743] 3.2's sysconfig doesn't work with virtualenv

[Sridhar Ratnakumar]

New submission from Sridhar Ratnakumar <sridharr at activestate.com>:

>From http://code.google.com/p/virtualenv5/issues/detail?id=6 - it seems that the `sysconfig` module is looking for Makefile in wrong directory, while ideally it must be looking into the base Python install.

>> import sysconfig; sysconfig.get_paths('purelib')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/lib/python3.2/sysconfig.py", line 332, in _init_posix
    _parse_makefile(makefile, vars)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/lib/python3.2/sysconfig.py", line 220, in _parse_makefile
    with open(filename, errors="surrogateescape") as f:
