[Python-Dev] Should libpython.a go in eprefix?

[Ben Leslie]

Hi all,

This issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue9807 from a couple of years ago
seems to have changed the LIBPL build variable from pointing to a directory
inside EPREFIX, to a directory in PREFIX.

This doesn't seem ideal as LIBPL is populated with platform specific files
such as libpython.a.

I'm wondering if this was intentional, or an oversight? It seems to
dramatically lessen the utility of providing an --exec-prefix to configure.

Thanks,

Ben
