What Linux distribution is this on? I tested these changes on quite a few
different distributions and the shared object in
python${_CURRENT_VERSION}/config was a symlink to python${_CURRENT_VERSION}.so
in the /usr/lib directory. Does your installation not have
/usr/lib[64]/libpython2.5.so?
Quite a few Linux distributions do not have the symlink in
python${_CURRENT_VERSION}/config, whereas all the ones I came across had it in
/usr/lib. So this would lead to link errors as only the static lib would be
found, and that cannot be used on x86_64 for example.
If you could provide more details then I will look into this further (I
committed the change in response to a bug report, and numerous reports I had
from users who had trouble linking to Python on 64 bit platforms).
