Mmmmhhhh... wait a moment. It seems the behavior is intended:

https://bugs.python.org/issue1324762

I quote:


The patch contains the following changes:
[...]
2) The compiler used to translate python's main() function is 
stored in the configure / Makefile variable MAINCC. By 
default, MAINCC=$(CC). [...] If 
--with-cxx-main=<compiler> is on the configure command 
line, then MAINCC=<compiler>.


Honestly I have _no idea_ why this change was made. Unluckily, the link to the 
discussion is broken.
