[Distutils] Bug in build_ext

The build_ext command (and probably others too) don't clean up
the build_temp directory before invoking the compiler. This causes
the compiler to use object files it finds in the temp location
for subsequent builds of other subpackages which is most probably
not intended.

Should I fix this bug in CVS by having the build_ext command
clean up the temporary tree before invoking the compiler ?
