Custom build_ext breaks parallel build/wheel

Beginne mit setup.py und reproduziere den Fehler mit python3 setup.py build bdist_wheel. Vergleiche anschließend den anfänglichen build_ext-Lauf mit dem build_ext-Aufruf während bdist_wheel. Die Arbeit ist abgeschlossen, wenn dieser Befehl erfolgreich abgeschlossen wird und ein Wheel ohne Compilerfehler erzeugt.

Our build system typically uses setup.py to generate a wheel via bdist_wheel but to speed up compilation of extensions we also explictly call build and pass -j:

python3 ./setup.py build  -j 8 bdist_wheel

This works for 99% of modules but fails with httptools:

error: don't know how to compile C/C++ code on platform 'posix' with '<distutils.compilers.C.unix.Compiler object at 0xee4af1454c80>' compiler

This behaviour isn't specific to the use of -j, simply doing python3 setup.py build bdist_wheel results in the build failing.
