[IMPALA-4593] kudu-python is built with the system C++ compiler, which may not be ABI-compatible with the toolchain C++ compiler

Description

I ran into this issue just now: importing kudu fails because of an unresolved symbol.

The issue seems to be that my system C++ is much newer than gcc-4.9.2 and they have different C++ ABIs (or something along those lines). One workaround is to manually override the C compilers.
