[New-bugs-announce] [issue26852] add a COMPILEALL_FLAGS Makefile variable

[Xavier de Gaye]

New submission from Xavier de Gaye:

Add a COMPILEALL_FLAGS Makefile variable to allow setting this flag to have legacy locations for byte-code files and save space on mobile devices.

Patch attached.
The '-E' python command line option added to $(PYTHON_FOR_BUILD) in the patch is fixing a problem that should actually be entered in another issue.  When cross-compiling, the PYTHON_FOR_BUILD command sets PYTHONPATH to the location of the cross-compiled shared libraries of the extension modules.  So the compilation of modules that import extension modules fail without '-E'.
