Hello, 

unluckily the software I'm trying to port does not use distutils but an 
automake system which means I have more or less to guess how to make it work.

I built my simple example again with distutils just to see what it does and it 
uses -undefined dynamic_lookup what of course depends on the deployment 
target. With both solutions I can use the extension with all installed 
pythons (Apple 2.3.5, Framework 2.4.1 and Fink 2.4.2).

Cheers, Torsten
