[issue1250] Building external modules using Sun Studio 12

[Maciej Bliziński]

I just hit this issue when trying to build matplotlib. The setup script indeed tries to run the C compiler (/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc) instead of the C++ compiler (/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC) and fails. This was with Python 2.6.7.

Could the problem be that the UnixCCompiler.executables["compiler_cxx"] is defined to "cc" instead of "CC"?
