sinoroc 72e8510f3b Fix documentation links for index options
In the documentation the links for the pip commands index options
are mixed up.

The index options are common to multiple commands, but in the
documentation they should be specific to a command for the links to
point to the right chapter.

Description

.. pip-command-description:: wheel
Build System Interface
++++++++++++++++++++++
In order for pip to build a wheel, ``setup.py`` must implement the
``bdist_wheel`` command with the following syntax::
python setup.py bdist_wheel -d TARGET
This command must create a wheel compatible with the invoking Python
interpreter, and save that wheel in the directory TARGET.
No other build system commands are invoked by the ``pip wheel`` command.
Customising the build
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is possible using ``--global-option`` to include additional build commands
with their arguments in the ``setup.py`` command. This is currently the only
way to influence the building of C extensions from the command line. For
example::
pip wheel --global-option bdist_ext --global-option -DFOO wheel
will result in a build command of
::
setup.py bdist_ext -DFOO bdist_wheel -d TARGET
which passes a preprocessor symbol to the extension build.
Such usage is considered highly build-system specific and more an accident of
the current implementation than a supported interface.
