[New-bugs-announce] [issue18164] Embedding Python doc incorrectly refers to LINKFORSHARED

[Ned Deily]

New submission from Ned Deily:

This is in reference to section 5.6 of the "Extending and Embedding Python" doc.  This has come up recently where third-party projects are using LINKEDFORHARED instead of the results of python-config when linking an embedded Python into their projects. See discussion in Issue3588. Also, the updates to section 5.6 made for Python 3 should be backported to the Python 2.7 doc.
