Tools/Freeze/freeze.py is still producing C code that expects the old-
style module initialization functions, causing link errors.

The simple example in Tools/Freeze/hello.py easily demonstrates this 
behavior.

Almost prioritized to low as there has been talk in the past of not even 
supporting frozen modules by default. The tool should either get fixed or 
removed depending on how people feel.

Interesting. I found it incredibly useful. I would love to fix the port (if
I find the time, of course :().

I think the original issue has been fixed by http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/fd20eba1f201. 

freeze.py is now broken due to pep3149 and ABIFLAGS, freeze-pep3149-compat.patch adds awareness of ABIFLAGS to Tools/freeze/freeze.py.

For me "python3.3 freeze.py hello.py && make && ./hello" now works.

Note that I also opened issue #11824 for the abiflags problem.

Closing as duplicate, please use the other bug report to discuss.
