The problem is that the main python distribution ("python") is not
working as advertised since
it contains distutils, which requires "python-devel" to work.
This implies that "python" has a dependency on "python-devel", which
does not make sense
anymore for linux distros to have two distinct packages for Python.
Having some of the makefile vars stored in stdlib solve this problem.
