For C++ extensions, distutils tries to replace the C compiler with the C++ compiler, but it assumes that C compiler is the first element after any environment variables set. On AIX, linking goes through ld_so_aix, so it is the first element and the compiler is the next element. Thus the replacement is faulty: ld_so_aix gcc ... -> g++ gcc ... Also, it assumed that self.compiler_cxx had only 1 element or that there were the same number of elements as the linker has and in the same order. This might not be the case, so instead concatenate everything together.
This directory contains the Distutils package.
