[New-bugs-announce] [issue34960] python-config bad ldflags on macOS

[Simon Wells]

New submission from Simon Wells <swel024 at gmail.com>:

if you didn't build python as a framework it adds sysconfig.get_config_vars('LINKFORSHARED') when you run 'python-config --ldflags' this resolves to

>>> sysconfig.get_config_var('LINKFORSHARED')
'-Wl,-stack_size,1000000  -framework CoreFoundation /usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/Python'

the '-Wl,-stack_size' ldflag causes issues for clang with the error

"ld: -stack_size option can only be used when linking a main executable"
