Issue #15184: Some config variables in test_sysconfig_module
may differ between sysconfig and distutils.sysconfig due to
compiler customizations on OS X.  For now, move those vars
into a separate test and skip if the customization has taken
place in distutils.  The long-term solution is to eliminate
having two sysconfig modules.
