And indeed, the flag *is* passed to the linker. Python links with CC
unless specified otherwise, which will be "gcc -m64". That ought to
work, and it does work when linking Python itself.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Feel free to bring up the issue on
python-dev if you think you are being ignored. I assure you this is
not the case - but I want to see the problem first before accepting
fixes.
