Comment(by rgommers):

 The configtest are, as the name suggests, attempts to compile some simple
 C code with different sizes for built-in types, as I understand it. Maybe
 some other checks, not sure about that. In the end a configuration should
 be found that compiles without problems. So it's allowed to fail, but not
 to throw an error that stops the build process.

 It is a Python distutils thing, look at
 Pythonx.y.z/Lib/distutils/command/config.py (helpfully undocumented).
