[issue9807] deriving configuration information for different builds with the same prefix

[Barry A. Warsaw]

Barry A. Warsaw <barry at python.org> added the comment:

@rpetrov: reusing $LDVERSION does make sense, but then I think the variable is misnamed.  I don't like $ABIVERSION either but maybe $BUILDVERSION?

Also I think we need to let the substitution for $LDVERSION happen in the Makefile rather than in the configure script.  I tried it the way you suggested and IIRC, it had some problems, but I don't remember the details.

@doko: Agreed.  I'll have an updated patch that fixes python.pc.  I'll look at INSTALL_SCHEME/headers too.
