[New-bugs-announce] [issue46438] Static linking _decimal module breaks test_freeze

[Steve Dower]

New submission from Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org>:

After applying this patch on Linux, test_freeze_simple_script (test.test_tools.test_freeze.TestFreeze) fails.

The stderr from the test is below. The rest of the output looks normal to me, but most of the build output is missing.

--- STDERR ---
gcc: error: Modules/_decimal/libmpdec/libmpdec.a: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:976: app] Error 1
