+- Issue #5941: Distutils build_clib command was not working anymore because
+ of an incomplete costumization of the archiver command. Added ARFLAGS in the
+ Makefile besides AR and make Distutils use it. Original patch by David
+ Cournapeau.

- Issue 5955: aifc's close method did not close the file it wrapped,
