[issue9100] test_sysconfig fails (test_user_similar)

[Zsolt Cserna]

New submission from Zsolt Cserna <zsolt.cserna at morganstanley.com>:

Python 2.7rc2

test_user_similar test in test_sysconfig fails for me. I think it's because I have different --exec-prefix and --prefix specified. The test assumes that get_config_var('base') is the part of the global_path = get_path('platstdlib', 'posix_prefix') which is not necessarily true.

I've attached the pdb output containing the variable names.
