I hesitate between "build_all" and "$(BUILDPYTHON)".

Using build_all, "make pythoninfo" runs again setup.py to try to build extensions, as done by "make buildbottest". I expect that running setup.py multiple times has no side effect.

Using $(BUILDPYTHON), "make pythoninfo" fails from a fresh build because basic modules like _posixsubprocess are not built yet.
