When configured using './configure --with-lto' (added in issue25702) and doing a 'make profile-opt' build, test_distutils fails:

I will investigate this and submit a fix. At a first glance, it seems the test is failing because it does not have the knowledge of the LTO flags.

Hello,

You can find a patch for this issue attached. Basically, since LTO needs LD flags when used, I modified the makefile template file and the test to push the flags up to the sysconfig module.

This patch is for CPython 3, and if it looks good I will post also the CPython 2 version.
