[issue19732] python fails to build when configured with --with-system-libmpdec

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah added the comment:

I wanted to force people to link explicitly with -l:libmpdec.so.2 in
order to avoid picking up a wrong version.  But indeed that won't work
since the GNU linker happily picks up the static lib with -lmpdec if
libmpdec.so is missing.

The docs are part of my website repo and are copied manually as
part of the release process.
