[issue17512] backport of the _sysconfigdata.py module (issue 13150) breaks the build on darwin

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren added the comment:

Reverting the backport would also fix the breakage.

Is the addition of _sysconfigdata not a new feature? It changes the place where sysconfig (and distutils sysconfig?) looks for configuration data, and hence breaks all instructions that mention that you can change the Makefile in {sys.prefix}/lib/python2.7/config to globally affect the compilation flags (although there hopefully aren't a lot of those)
