Ned Deily added the comment: This is essentially a duplicate of Issue3467 and various other similar issues. While it may not be easy to justify the special case in setup.py for OS X (the reason was primarily for OS X installer builds), it would be even harder to justify adding another special case just for "Linux" systems. Why not all platforms and libs? The standard reply (in Issue3467 and elsewhere) to these kinds of requests has been to use one of the Modules/Setup files (like Setup.local) to customize extension module builds or to come up with a more general solution for the top-level setup.py third-party library configuration, rather than more special cases for each lib.
