[issue22980] C extension naming doesn't take bitness into account

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

I justified leaving out the ABI tag in an earlier post as well as in an email to distutils-sig, where two of the PEPs you mention were developed, and nobody had any comment. Cache tags don't include platform information and are worthless here.

distutils uses the first extension from _imp.extension_suffixes() and so will automatically tag binaries. I also tested with setuptools and Cython.
