[issue3588] sysconfig variable LINKFORSHARED has wrong value for MacOS X framework build

[Konrad Hinsen]

New submission from Konrad Hinsen <konrad.hinsen at laposte.net>:

On a MacOS X framework build, the LINKFORSHARED variable obtained from 
distutils.sysconfig.get_config_vars() has the value

  -u _PyMac_Error Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python

The last item is incomplete, it needs to be prefixed with the path in 
which the Python framework is installed.

Looking at config/Makefile (from which Distutils takes the variables), I 
find

LINKFORSHARED=	-u _PyMac_Error 
$(PYTHONFRAMEWORKDIR)/Versions/$(VERSION)/$(PYTHONFRAMEWORK)

and

PYTHONFRAMEWORKDIR=	Python.framework

One fix would be to use PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR instead of PYTHONFRAMEWORKDIR in the definition of LINKFORSHARED, but I don't know 
if this could have undesirable effects on the build process.
