Dear Space, 

On my Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64 Linux I have static python buildup prescription:
./configure LDFLAGS="-static -static-libgcc"  --disable-shared   CPPFLAGS=-static --prefix=/home/ilias/bin/python_static

with *static* in Modules/Setup

but 'make' failes, getting errors like:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
/usr/bin/ld: error: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/crtbeginT.o: requires dynamic R_X86_64_32 reloc against '__DTOR_END__' which may overflow at runtime; recompile with -fPIC

Subject: [issue9631] Python 2.7 installation issue for Linux gcc-4.1.0-3        (Fedora Core 5?)

Hi,

I recently compiled Python 2.7.2 and got an ImportError on struct module during 'make install'.

What I found working for me is just to 'make'. Before doing 'make install', copy the lib.linux-xxxxx directory in 'build' to {prefix}/lib/python2.7 and rename it as lib-dynload.

Then find something that looks like followings:
        $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/LICENSE $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/LICENSE.txt
        PYTHONPATH=$(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)  $(RUNSHARED) \
                ./$(BUILDPYTHON) -Wi -tt $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/compileall.py \
                -d $(LIBDEST) -f \
                -x 'bad_coding|badsyntax|site-packages|lib2to3/tests/data' \
                $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)
        PYTHONPATH=$(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST) $(RUNSHARED) \
                ./$(BUILDPYTHON) -Wi -tt -O $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/compileall.py \
                -d $(LIBDEST) -f \
                -x 'bad_coding|badsyntax|site-packages|lib2to3/tests/data' \
                $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)
        -PYTHONPATH=$(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)  $(RUNSHARED) \
                ./$(BUILDPYTHON) -Wi -t $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/compileall.py \
                -d $(LIBDEST)/site-packages -f \
                -x badsyntax $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/site-packages
        -PYTHONPATH=$(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST):$(DESTSHARED) $(RUNSHARED) \
                ./$(BUILDPYTHON) -Wi -t -O $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/compileall.py \
                -d $(LIBDEST)/site-packages -f \
                -x badsyntax $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/site-packages
        -PYTHONPATH=$(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST) $(RUNSHARED) \
                ./$(BUILDPYTHON) -Wi -t -c "import lib2to3.pygram, lib2to3.patcomp;lib2to3.patcomp.PatternCompiler()"

Add :$(DESTSHARED) behind each PYTHONPATH. Then it looks like

        $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/LICENSE $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/LICENSE.txt
        PYTHONPATH=$(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST):$(DESTSHARED)  $(RUNSHARED) \
                ./$(BUILDPYTHON) -Wi -tt $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/compileall.py \
                -d $(LIBDEST) -f \
                -x 'bad_coding|badsyntax|site-packages|lib2to3/tests/data' \
                $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)
        PYTHONPATH=$(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST):$(DESTSHARED) $(RUNSHARED) \
                ./$(BUILDPYTHON) -Wi -tt -O $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/compileall.py \
                -d $(LIBDEST) -f \
                -x 'bad_coding|badsyntax|site-packages|lib2to3/tests/data' \
                $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)
        -PYTHONPATH=$(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST):$(DESTSHARED)  $(RUNSHARED) \
                ./$(BUILDPYTHON) -Wi -t $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/compileall.py \
                -d $(LIBDEST)/site-packages -f \
                -x badsyntax $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/site-packages
        -PYTHONPATH=$(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST):$(DESTSHARED) $(RUNSHARED) \
                ./$(BUILDPYTHON) -Wi -t -O $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/compileall.py \
                -d $(LIBDEST)/site-packages -f \
                -x badsyntax $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST)/site-packages
        -PYTHONPATH=$(DESTDIR)$(LIBDEST):$(DESTSHARED) $(RUNSHARED) \
                ./$(BUILDPYTHON) -Wi -t -c "import lib2to3.pygram, lib2to3.patcomp;lib2to3.patcomp.PatternCompiler()"

After doing so, you can 'make install'.

This is tested on OpenSUSE 10.3 with GCC 4.2.1.
