Hmm, I just checked and it seems that only Python 3.5 ships libpythonXY.a by default - 3.4 and earlier (at least on my machine) don't have it. Presumably you generated it yourself for the previous versions? So I wonder if this is a difference between how you built your version previously and how the shipped version is now built. The code to build the shipped version is in Tools\msi\dev\dev.wixproj. It runs gendef - "$(BuildPath)$(PyDllName).dll" > "$(IntermediateOutputPath)mingwlib.def" dlltool --dllname $(PyDllName).dll --def "$(IntermediateOutputPath)mingwlib.def" --output-lib "$(BuildPath)lib$(PyDllName).a" -m $(_GenDefPlatform) which looks OK to me (_GenDefPlatform is i386 on 32-bit and i386:x86-64 on 64-bit).
