is wrong when PY_LDFLAGS is not empty.

The bug was caused by LDSHARED getting expanded *before* sysconfig
renamed PY_LDSHARED (and simular values) to names without a PY_

The patch tries to maintain the intended behaviour of allowing users

Without this patch a universal build on OSX cannot build universal
(fat binary) extensions.

through sysconfig.

The problem is probably caused by the 9189.

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

  c) If char is unsigned, gcc emits spurious "array subscript
     has type 'char'" warnings.

Add configure check for a bug with gcc soft floating-point and subnormals, to help debug issue 8265.

In that case, do not attempt to parse stderr output.
