distutils-common-base.bbclass: Define commonly used compiler variables

This is inspired from
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/configure.ac

Helps cross compiling python C modules in some cases where they do
not respect normal CFLAGS

Errors like using gcc to link when compiler is clang is fixed
