[issue23968] rename the platform directory from plat-$(MACHDEP) to plat-$(PLATFORM_TRIPLET)

Any update on this issue?

test_srcdir() of test_sysconfig still fails on "x86 Gentoo Installed with X 3.x" buildbot. I opened the issue #27798 which was closed a duplicate of this issue.

First failure of the buildbot:

http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/x86%20Gentoo%20Installed%20with%20X%203.x/builds/747

This build contains many changes. I don't know which one introduced the issue?

* change a062c60c9f7d60db2b63af88e2d676e617398d01: Update distutils/sysconfig.py to look for the renamed _sysconfigdata module too
* change 78d2cb7f66b602ec496800fbbe71e590c0f56b00: Rename the platform directory from plat-$(MACHDEP) to plat-$(PLATFORM_TRIPLET)

Ned Deily: "This needs to be fixed before release."

I agree. I use the release blocker priority as a reminder. Well, if the issue cannot be fixed, I suggest to revert changes related to this issue.

"It's not just broken for cross-compiling.  As I noted earlier, it's broken when using other than gcc, such as is the case with current OS X systems."

test_sysconfig fails on "x86 Gentoo Installed with X 3.x" buildbot which uses GCC. Extract of the configure output:

   checking for gcc... gcc
