This is in reference to section 5.6 of the "Extending and Embedding Python" doc.  This has come up recently where third-party projects are using LINKEDFORHARED instead of the results of python-config when linking an embedded Python into their projects. See discussion in Issue3588. Also, the updates to section 5.6 made for Python 3 should be backported to the Python 2.7 doc.

I think it was Antoine who committed the patch originally.

On further review, I think the 3.x documentation is pretty good as is.  I propose one change to it: getting another config var to help emphasize "the configuration values that you will want to combine together".  The proposed 2.7 patch backports the whole 3.x section including that change.
