When building with --enable-shared in an environment that already has a python2.7 (and I'd expect the same to happen to 3.x), make profile-opt fails because it attempts to load the existing libpython instead of the just-built one. run_profile_task should use RUNSHARED. In fact, it builds fine if $(RUNSHARED) is added to that line. Patch inline below, for 2.7.5: --- Makefile.pre.in.bk 2013-07-18 17:46:28.671773378 +0000 +++ Makefile.pre.in 2013-07-18 17:46:47.759806100 +0000 @@ -420,7 +420,7 @@ run_profile_task: : # FIXME: can't run for a cross build - ./$(BUILDPYTHON) $(PROFILE_TASK) + $(RUNSHARED) ./$(BUILDPYTHON) $(PROFILE_TASK) build_all_use_profile: $(MAKE) all CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS) -fprofile-use"

This was fixed in 3.x in 2015 and later backported to 2.7 in 2017. Thanks for the report, Claudio, and I'm sorry nobody noticed this earlier or we could have fixed the issue two years earlier!
