test_subprocess.test_executable now has a failure in the subprocess created (see http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/builders/amd64%20gentoo%20trunk/builds/303/steps/test/logs/stdio)

the bbots don't get red because this is happening in the subprocess and the test just look for the return code.

This is hapenning since I've added the sysconfig module. This change revealed a bug in subprocess.

This call :

  subprocess.Popen(["somethingyoudonthave", "-c", "import sys; print sys.executable"], executable=sys.executable)   

will print a directory name for sys.executable, instead of the real value. That's fooling sysconfig, which is now called through site.py, to set a few variables.
