It does for me:

g++ -V 2.95.3 -g  -o metadb metadb.o metaadb.o metaddl.o metapy.o 
i386-linux.o -L/usr/local/lib/python2.2/config -lpython2.2  config2.o

What am I doing wrong?

In 1.4 I was modifying config.c and linking it with the python libs to 
extend the interpreter. But now it no longer works.

config2.c:

struct _inittab _PyImport_Inittab[] = {

	{"thread", initthread},
	{"signal", initsignal},
	{"posix", initposix},
	{"_sre", init_sre},
	{"new", initnew},
	{"_symtable", init_symtable},
	{"xxsubtype", initxxsubtype},

/* -- ADDMODULE MARKER 2 -- */

	/* This module lives in marshal.c */
	{"marshal", PyMarshal_Init},

	/* This lives in import.c */
	{"imp", initimp},

	/* These entries are here for sys.builtin_module_names */
	{"__main__", NULL},
	{"__builtin__", NULL},
	{"sys", NULL},
	{"exceptions", NULL},

#ifdef WITH_CYCLE_GC
	/* This lives in gcmodule.c */
	{"gc", initgc},
#endif
	/* AGL's modules */
	{"metadb", initmetadbtypes},
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I've added this type.

	/* Sentinel */
	{0, 0}
};


I have about three different programs with different extension modules 
so I would rather avoid having three diffrerent libpython2.2 libs
differing only in the config.c part.
