Summary: bad value of INSTSONAME in Makefile

Initial Comment:
With the 2.3.2 source on a Solaris 9 machine and the
following configure:

./configure --prefix=/opt/python-2.3.2 --enable-shared

'make; make install' will result in an error when the
Makefile tries to link the .so file, because INSTSONAME
= LDLIBRARY = libpython$(VERSION).so, and the linker
tries to do:

$(INSTALL_SHARED) libpython$(VERSION)$(SO)
$(DESTDIR)$(LIBDIR)/$(INSTSONAME);

(cd $(DESTDIR)$(LIBDIR); $(LN) -sf $(INSTSONAME)
libpython$(VERSION)$(SO));

This is all fine and good, except that
libpython$(VERSION)$(SO) is the same as INSTSONAME, and
you end up doing:

ln -sf libpython2.3.so libpython2.3.so

...which rightfully returns an error. Looking at the
generated Makefile on Linux, the value of INSTSONAME is:

INSTSONAME=     libpython$(VERSION).so.1.0

...instead of this value from Solaris:

INSTSONAME=     $(LDLIBRARY)
