When Python has been configured without --enable-shared option, then
`make install` installs $(LIBDIR)/libpythonX.Y.a and
$(LIBDIR)/pythonX.Y/config/libpythonX.Y.a (these files are identical).

When Python has been configured with --enable-shared option, then `make
install` installs $(LIBDIR)/libpythonX.Y.so and
$(LIBDIR)/pythonX.Y/config/libpythonX.Y.a.
It is inconsistent and causes using of static library instead of shared
library when a program is linked using "-L$(LIBDIR)/pythonX.Y/config -
(It was reported at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252372)

I suggest to install libpythonX.Y.a only in $(LIBDIR).
