CFLAGS are not taken into account properly

Thanks.

But some other (but 'similar') functionality is broken. Now I succeeded 
in compiling python. But when using distutils (e.g. when installing 
numarray using the setup.py), python will compile the files using the 
'-xarch=v9' option but drops this option when linking dynamic libraries 
(although I defined LDFLAGS="-xarch=v9" before configuring python). 
Additionally python adds the option '-xcode=pic32' to the 
compile-command which will compile my numarray in 32bit instead of 64bit 
(while python itself is in 64bit)
