I looked and the autoconf variable for the c++ linker is CXXLINK, so I think the proper way to fix this would be to change sysconfig.py to look at both CXXFLAGS and CXXLINK, and create those and use it to define a cxxlink variable, and only if they are missing should we actually try to do some of the magic that is currently used. Also, my patches (fix-distutils-*.patch) do not always work, because sometimes the c compiler cannot link the c++ code.
