ImportError on _socketmodule.so when running a frozen program

Hmm, I just ran objdump and it definitely looks like the
PyInt_FromLong definition is statically linked into the executable. 
Any ideas as to why loading a shared library would fail saying
PyInt_FromLong is an undefined symbol?

0807cf90 <PyInt_FromLong>:
 807cf90:       55                      push   %ebp
 807cf91:       89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
 807cf93:       83 ec 18                sub    $0x18,%esp
 807cf96:       89 75 f8                mov    %esi,0xfffffff8(%ebp)
 807cf99:       8b 75 08                mov    0x8(%ebp),%esi
.
