Okay... if I have understood well, the problem is with C++ Extensions. Some questions: 1. does this problem exists yet? 2. if yes, maybe Python have to wrap the python.c and _testembed.c so they can also be compiled with a C++ compiler? 3. --with-cxx-main is not somewhat misleading? There's no documentation, and I interpreted it as "the _main_ compiler for C++", while it means "the compiler for main()". Should I suggest (maybe in another issue) to deprecate it and use --with-mainfun-compiler ?
