Comment:

 The results of investigations I reported in comment:6 suggest we shouldn't
 be linking with libpython on most platforms.  The fact that distutils (the
 standard build tool for python) doesn't link them seems a very strong
 argument.

 We've had no feedback on my comment for 3 months, and keeping this ticket
 open indefinitely doesn't seem to serve a useful purpose, so I'm closing
 this as "notabug".  If there are good reasons to think we really should be
 linking with these libraries, please comment and give them.  But I suspect
 the issue is actually that vim should be calling dlopen with RTLD_GLOBAL.
