by running test_subprocess through regrtest (and
hence in a subdirectory).

Without this patch running python.exe from the
build tree will fail when these tree conditions
are true:
1) the CWD is not the root of build tree
2) python.exe is found through $PATH
3) the framework is not yet installed

The bug was caused by LDSHARED getting expanded *before* sysconfig

prefix.

The patch tries to maintain the intended behaviour of allowing users
to set LDFLAGS in the environment and have that affect the build.

cases, it could be replaced by a simple cast to (unsigned char). Reasons
for the change:

  a) Make the comment more explicit.

  b) If char is unsigned, the cast is optimized away.

  c) If char is unsigned, gcc emits spurious "array subscript
