for i in *.a; do echo $i; nm $i|grep forkpty; done
as well as
for i in *.so; do echo $i; nm $i|grep forkpty; done

produced no results and, yet, pyconfig.h happily reports #define 
HAVE_OPENPTY 1

Any ideas what is going on?
Thank you.
If that's of any help I've blown /usr/lib/gcc-lib that contained support 
files for gcc 2.96.
I'm not using 2.96 though, see command line.

Btw is including config file with my extension module after python2.2 
lib on the linker command line sounds right?
