Summary: runtime_library_dirs and gcc don't mix

Initial Comment:
providing runtime_library_dirs	=["/foo"],
setup.py build does:

gcc -shared -R/foo ...

whereas it requires

gcc -shared -Wl,-R/foo

to get the option through to the linker.

My configuration:

python2.1.1, gcc 2.9.6, binutils 2.10.91.0.2,
redhat 7.1, intel


Please let me know if I'm just doing something stupid.

Thanks heaps for the distutils stuff, it makes playing
with extensions way easier.

Fixed in Lib/distutils/unixccompiler.py revision 1.38.
(Bugfix candidate.)

It is hackish, but it looks acceptable to me. When I
applying this patch, I recommend to add a comment indicating
what problem this fragment solves.

I've attached a proposed patch, but it's way too hackish,
and doesn't generalize at all.  But it probably solves the
most common case.

It somewhat depends on the platform; on Solaris, gcc will 
accept -R. On Linux, it doesn't, so this is really 
distutils fault, not yours.
