If numpy provide us with a distutils version that *works* IMHO matplotlib should just be shipped with. If it is overkill, it could be possible to detect the compiler version and to remove this option if and only if g++ is used. It looks not so clean but cleaner than compiling this an extra option and waiting for the next g++ version which may move from a warning to an error... Maybe we should also ask on the python ML.
From http://docs.python.org/ext/building.html "distutils users should trust that distutils gets the invocations right." : ha ha ha!
