Could it be the old problem (on some systems) that symbols which
aren't used in the main Python binary aren't exported to shared
libraries?  I don't think I use fgetc() anywhere in the core -- I
always use the macro getc().

This seems strange though since I presume that you are using libc as a
shared library on Linux...
