>Summary: "make install" fails with --enable-shared

Initial Comment:
I configured python 2.3a1 with --enable-shared.  When I
run "make install",
some installation steps try to run the new python
executable, but it
complains that libpython2.3.so cannot be found. 
libpython2.3.so.1.0 has
been installed by this point, but the symlink has not.

Augmenting LD_LIBRARY_PATH during "make install" to
include the build
directory, which contains libpython2.3.so, allows "make
install" to complete
successfully.  After "make install", I can run ldconfig
(or equivalent) myself to
create the symlink.

This is a custom-built GNU/Linux system, using gcc 2.95.3
and glibc 2.2.5.
"make install" ends like this:
SRCDIR=. \
./python ./Tools/idle/setup.py install \
--check-tkinter \
--prefix=/package/misc/spf/python-2.3a1-1 \
--install-scripts=/package/misc/spf/python-2.3a1-1/bin \
--install-platlib=/package/misc/spf/python-2.3a1-1/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload
./python: error while loading shared libraries:
libpython2.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
make: *** [idleinstall] Error 127

What operating system is this? What is the precise build
step that fails? What is the precise error message?
