bpo-44133: Link Python executable with object files by vstinner · Pull Request #30556 · python/cpython
When Python is built without --enable-shared, the "python" program is now linked to object files, rather than being linked to the Python library (libpython.a), to make sure that all symbols are exported. Previously, the linker omitted some symbols like the Py_FrozenMain() function. When Python is configured with --without-static-libpython, the Python static library (libpython.a) is no longer built. * Check --without-static-libpython earlier in configure.ac * Add LINK_PYTHON_OBJS and LINK_PYTHON_DEPS variables to Makefile. * test_capi now ensures that the "Py_FrozenMain" symbol is exported.
