 > > > LINKFORSHARED is a configuration variable used to build the Python
 interpreter itself in its build directory.  It isn't intended to be used
 directly by other components.  Unfortunately, Python builds export all
 configuration variables whether they are meaningful or not.  To embed
 Python, the supported interface for finding build flags is to use the
 pythonx.y-config script:

 [http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf-

 from the autoconf archive but `python-config` looks like a better
 approach. I'll forward that to upstream.

 this macro]. idk if that would fix this, but it's worth a shot...

 No, it still has LINKFORSHARED in it.
