I of course tried this first (I always read manuals before working). It does 
not work. I tried the following one:

$(CC) $(FLAGS) -shared -Wl,-soname,plugin_python.so.0 $(OBJECTS) 
../common/libcross.a -Xlinker -export-dynamic 
/usr/lib/python2.0/config/libpython2.0.a -lpthread -lutil -ldmalloc -o 
plugin_python.so.0.1

Maybe I'm completely wrong or simply dumb. But I passed the correct options 
to gcc and it simply does not solve the problem. (Thanx for trying to help 
anyway)
