[New-bugs-announce] [issue33473] build system incorrectly handles CC, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and related.

[Eitan Adler]

New submission from Eitan Adler <lists at eitanadler.com>:

There are a number of incorrect items in python's build system. 

Expected behavior:
- CC is correctly report as the compiler, and without any additional options
- CFLAGS is correctly reported for the required flags to the compiler
- CXXFLAGS is the same as CFLAGS, but for C++
- LDFLAGS is correctly report for linker flags

Actual behavior:
- CC is reported as a non-existing compiler plus an option
- C*FLAGS and LDFLAGS are not correctly reported
