This problem has been solved some months ago and it is
due to the new Apple's libtool in Leopard.

I applied a simple workaround to many python ports
whose makefiles make use of the flag "-export-symbol-regex"
by simply removing it and so making the missing symbols
public again.


This rough trick works also with apache2 and the missing
symbol "_ssl_cmd_SSLCACertificateFile"
(http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/13182)
but it has not been committed.


pogma is reporting on his blog that using the new libtool
1.5.26 instread of the Apple's one can alleviate such troubles:
