[New-bugs-announce] [issue38634] Symbol resolution conflict when embeding python in an application using libedit

[serge-sans-paille]

New submission from serge-sans-paille <serge.guelton at telecom-bretagne.eu>:

See https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43830, but basically the follwing code:

```
// a.c
#include <Python.h>

int main() {
  Py_Initialize();
  PyRun_SimpleString("import readline; print(readline.__doc__)");
  return 0;
}
```

compiled like this:

```
% gcc a.c `./install/bin/python3-config --cflags --ldflags --libs` -lpython3.9
```

runs fine:

```
% ./a.out                                          
Importing this module enables command line editing using GNU readline.
```

However the following:

```
% gcc a.c `./install/bin/python3-config --cflags --ldflags --libs` -ledit -lpython3.9
```

compiles but segfaults at runtime.
