Title: Unset passed in FFLAGS environment variable in fftpack

Setting the FFLAGS environment variable would prevent scipy from compiling by making
libdfftpack.a non-relocatable on 64-bit machines.

Suspect that the FFLAGS that should be used contains '-fPIC' and is replaced by the FFLAGS environment setting.

The actual location where FFLAGS in the environment replaces what should be used is deep inside Scons - I think.

This small change unsets FFLAGS is in the setup.py rather than in Scons.
