Hi, this is my first email to this list, I'm currently porting python to some platforms with limited capabilities and so I thought it would be a good idea to subscribe here. While doing the porting, I found two small problems in Python 2.5.1: If Py_USING_UNICODE is disabled, in Python/ast.c decode_unicode() still calls unicode-related functions, which leads to undefined references when linking. If HAVE_DYNAMIC_LOADING is disabled, in Python/import.c _PyImport_DynLoadFiletab is still initialized, which also leads to undefined references when linking, since then no source file which defines this variable is used. A patch against 2.5.1 is attached. Best regards Alex
