@Scott: the problem is not the addition of the flags. I have no problem with them being added, being different for PPAs or anything like that.

The problem is that the flags are added in an *invalid way*. See a more detailed recent/build log at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/128659634/buildlog_ubuntu-quantal-amd64.python-apsw_3.7.15.2-r1-1ppa1~quantal1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

ie the flags are supposed to be added like this: [ ('_FORTIFY_SOURCE', '2'), ('FOO', 'BAR') ] which translates into
#define _FORTIFY_SOURCE 2
#define FOO BAR

Instead this is being supplied: [ '_FORTIFY_SOURCE', '2' ] which translates into
#define _FORTIFY_SOURCE
#define 2

The PPA system is messing up the *syntax* of how it adds the flags, and then that causes the builds to fail.
