    Research direction

    The issue names no files or tests; begin by reviewing the linked PRs 6771 and 6890 and the CPython build-system entry points they touch. Done means CC, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and related variables are handled correctly without the reported compile failure, with relevant build checks passing.
