You should only link with libpython if there really is a shared libpython. In a standard Python installation, there is no libpython, but instead, symbols are in the executable. Notice that libpython isn't really supported: all changes to that code originate from contributions, and I refuse to develop changes to it myself. So you can file a bug report, but there likely won't be any reaction in the next few years (atleast not from me). OTOH, if a working patch was contributed, I could apply that fairly quickly: I agree that modules should link with libpython if libpython is shared. I can accept that the Mac does it differently, although I think the rationale for doing that is dangerous: you shouldn't really attempt to share extension modules across Python versions.
