[New-bugs-announce] [issue18493] make profile-opt fails with pre-existing python2.7 in path

[Claudio Freire]

New submission from Claudio Freire:

When building with --enable-shared in an environment that already has a python2.7 (and I'd expect the same to happen to 3.x), make profile-opt fails because it attempts to load the existing libpython instead of the just-built one.

run_profile_task should use RUNSHARED. In fact, it builds fine if $(RUNSHARED) is added to that line.

Patch inline below, for 2.7.5:
