Help compiling python on HPUX

[Paul D. Lusk]

We are using python at Radford University on HPUX, but we have encountered
a problem. When we moved the python executable from our test machine to
the production machine, we got an error message when trying use 
DCOracle2:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't shl_load() a library containing Thread Local 
Storage: 
/usr/lib/libcl.2 
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Exec format error

On the test machine, we solved this by setting LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcl.2
before running python, but this does not work on the production machine.

A Google search showed that this problem could be fixed by linking libcl.2 
in when building python, but I don't know where to change the makefile to 
do this. (My C and makefile knowledge is limited, although I did manage to 
compile GCC 3.2 and python 2.2.2 on my Mandrake 8.2 machine).

Any help would be appreciated.
