On older versions of Python, sysconfig read the data from both the Makefile and
the Python.h file generated at build time, created dictionaries with their variables
and used those when using get_config_var(), now it uses _sysconfigdata.build_time_vars[]
which contains information from the HOST, erroneous in our case, this patch reverts this
behavior and uses Python.h and Makefile to get information.
