Hello,
I'm using the Exherbo distribution where all of our build tools are prefixed (e.g.
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-cc
) and an error is triggered when using the prefix-less tools.While
cc
is hardcoded in python's unixccompiler.py, it seems that they expect users of theUnixCCompiler
class to override default executables, which is why I open this PR.If the
CC
environment variable is defined, use it. If not, use the default one. I only overridecompiler_so
because it's the only executable that is used.Let me know how you feel about this!
