Gregory P. Smith added the comment:
We use Modules/Setup.local to build the _ssl and _hashlib modules against our
an SSL library of our choosing at work using a Setup entry like this:
_ssl _ssl.c $(PY_CORE_CFLAGS) -DUSE_SSL -I%{SSL_ROOT}/include \
-Wl,--version-script,_ssl.lds \
-Wl,-Bsymbolic \
%{SSL_ROOT}/libssl.a %{SSL_ROOT}/libcrypto.a
%{SSL_ROOT} is replaced prior to building using sed to drop in the path to our
desired libssl build.
_ssl.lds is a linker script to hide all but the module init function as we are
linking statically.
MODULE__ssl {
global: PyInit__ssl;
local: *;
};
(all that said, I still see how a configure flag would be nicer for many people
even though the existing patch does not look like it would work for our own
static linking needs - one reason we do that being to avoid dynamic versioning
issues)
