Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gizmod

AMD64 users see this upon executing gizmod in Ibex:

gizmod: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libboost_python-
gcc42-1_34_1.so.1.34.1: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4

Apparently this is due to python having renamed a function and boost not
catching it... as noted by one gizmod user:

Found the following information on the problem by googling "Py_InitModule4". 
Looks like quite a few projects have been affected. Here's an interesting one: 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clearsilver/+bug/86685 
 
"Py_InitModule4 in 64bit systems was renamed to Py_InitModule4_64 to allow 
addressing more than 4Gbytes" 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clearsilver/+bug/86685/comments/1 

Note I am the author of Gizmod and am fine with pushing out a new
release version of gizmod for this if need be, but this is currently
stopping amd64 users from using gizmod so I'd like to get a new version
pushed out or backported if possible.

I believe the fix is as simple as recompiling gizmod with boost-1.35
linked in as opposed to 1.34.1 but I can't test as I don't have an amd64
system.
