[issue21917] Python 2.7.7 Tests fail, and math is faulty

[repcsike]

New submission from repcsike:

Python is built with IBM XLC compiler, some tests fail and after installation mathematical executions are giving bad results. I corrected the _sysconfigdata.py bug (issue18235) with ld_so_aix , and found this out when tried to install some modules.
 
Please see this other issue for the other tests:

# ./configure --with-gcc="xlc_r -q64" AR="ar -X64" --prefix=/usr/local/Python-2.7.7_64_test
