[issue15819] Unable to build Python out-of-tree when source tree is readonly.

@Martin tldr; That was three years ago so I don't know if the issue remains. Perhaps a new out of tree builder will help answer that question.

We(FreeBSD) gave up^W switched away from out of tree builds due to lack of support getting issues fixed and the frequency at which commits would alternately break in tree builds then out of tree builds.

Unfortunately that also lost us the flexibility to create dual static/shared builds.

The relevant downstream commit log: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=350610

The patch we added (reverting 2dde5a7439fd) that was mentioned in msg203348 was: 

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/python27/files/patch-Makefile.pre.in?view=markup&pathrev=318353

If the current code is the same as per the 2dde5a7439fd change, then I'd guess it would still be an issue.
