PR Summary
This is another step to adress #3384 by removing dependencies to
distutils
It looks to me that this function is never called, and its definition is the only reason why we import
distutils.ccompiler.CCompiler
, so it's should be trivial.For context, I've also started taking action upstream to get rid of the final ties we have to it (pypa/setuptools#3445)
