Make COMPILER definition in getcompiler.c optionally static for reproducible builds

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

SUSE (both for SLE and openSUSE) have been using for a long time (the name of the patchfile starts with python-3.3.0b1 ;)) similar patch to avoid having dynamically generated symbols in the build binaries (version of compilers in this case).

I have discussed upstreaming of this patch on
https://discuss.python.org/t/unversioned-compiler-symbol-for-getcompiler-c/91735 and it seems to me that in order to give this issue some momentum, I have to just file PR here.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

Commencez par Python/getcompiler.c et ses règles de compilation dans Makefile.pre.in, puis examinez le travail associé dans gh-144124. Vérifiez comment la définition de COMPILER est construite et rendez sa forme statique facultative sans introduire de symboles du compilateur générés dynamiquement ; vérifiez que la compilation reste reproductible.
