Unexpectedly the environment variable which needs to be passed is
$LDSHARED and not $LD.  Otherwise Python may find the build `ld` instead
of the host `ld`.

Replace $(LDFLAGS) with $(SHLIB_LDFLAGS) as Python needs shared objects
it can load at runtime, not executables.

This uses $(CC) instead of $(LD) since Python distutils appends $CFLAGS
to $LDFLAGS which breaks many linkers.

This is now the *third* time this has been sent to the list.  Mark Pryor
has tested and confirms Python cross-building is working.  There is one
wart left which I'm unsure of the best approach for.

Having looked around a bit, I believe this is a Python 2/3 compatibility
issue.  "distutils" for Python 2 likely lacked a separate $LDSHARED or
$LD variable, whereas Python 3 does have this.  Alas this is pointless
due to the above (unless you can cause distutils.py to do the final link
step separately).
