There is a buglet in the configure script for standard Python 1.5.2. If gcc 2.95.2 is used on Solaris to build Python itself, -Wl,-E flags indeed don't get passed to linker when python executable is linked.

I've mailed a patch against this one to Guido a couple of months ago, which he accepted. So if you grab the Python 1.5.2 from CVS the problem should be solved.

The workaround I found is to set the LDFLAGS environment variable to '-Wl,-E' before running configure. I also noticed that if you don't set the CCC environment variable to something sensible (like 'g++'), the Makefile generated by Makefile.pre.in for extension modules will fail. -- Steven E.
