This patch is provided for reference only - it works for us at SUSE. I'll be
happy to spend some time improving it for general usage, if this has any
chance of being commited.

Maybe this should be detected differently altogether. Perhaps by working with
LIBDIR, which is known to configure?

how would you propose to put the value into sysconfig in the first place? It
seems to rely heavily on existing attributes from sys.

We don't use this one anymore, and i'm not entirely sure that we ever did. I
am happy to drop it.
