    Really, can't distutils at least display the command-line that failed to execute?

    It appears a choice has been made to print only the first argument in the error messages; attached patch changes that, please test.

    Well, I don't have the failing setup at hand anymore, but the patch
    looks reasonable to me. Thank you!

    I intend to ask on distutils-sig whether doing the change in distutils would break code.

    I will apply this this week; I don’t think I need to ask the ML after all, the output is already different when you run with DISTUTILS_DEBUG — and it’s debug mode anyway, not regular use, so I don’t foresee any compat issue.
