The gmodule library (a wrapper for various dynamic linker interfaces) in
glib-2.0 is able to load libtool .la files natively. I guess it tried to
load whatever.so.la as a last resort, and that came out in the error
message. The problem is to do with incomplete dependency lists for the
pango shaper modules, etc. Patching python to use RTLD_GLOBAL is a work
around for the problem.
