Add a COMPILEALL_FLAGS Makefile variable to allow setting this flag to have legacy locations for byte-code files and save space on mobile devices. Patch attached. The '-E' python command line option added to $(PYTHON_FOR_BUILD) in the patch is fixing a problem that should actually be entered in another issue. When cross-compiling, the PYTHON_FOR_BUILD command sets PYTHONPATH to the location of the cross-compiled shared libraries of the extension modules. So the compilation of modules that import extension modules fail without '-E'.
