[PyPy-issue] [issue662] get_config_vars has nothing for CC, while expected internally

[Martijn]

New submission from Martijn <ss at kleptog.org>:

Currently distutils.sysconfig.get_config_vars() has no value for CC. This means
that when you try to build a C extension using distutils it breaks, because
distutils internally uses get_config_vars() to determine the compiler
(distutils/ccompiler.py).

Attached is a patch that works for me, with this C extensions build normally
(excluding cpyext problems). But this may be a layering violation, so I'll leave
it to you guys to determine the correct fix. In any case it's an improvement
which improves compatibility.
