The fix that was merged seems a bit hacky to me -- it changes the _is_gcc check so that it returns True on clang. Even though distutils is deprecated and no longer synced externally, if someone needs to issue a similar fix, this might trip them over. I would recommend replacing it with [1], from the now externally maintained distutils module. [1] https://github.com/pypa/distutils/pull/55
