Summary: python and Python interfaces should use cc -G for so's

Initial Comment:
the Python build environment should use cc -G for it's shared libs.  This is true at *LEAST* on UnixWare.  The ld man page calls this out. 

The PostgreSQL interface build had to be modified because of this. 

If you need a shell account on a UnixWare 7 box, I can arrange same.

What about -KPIC -Ki486 -belf -Wl,-Bexport? This is what is
                                currently used on SCO_SV

I'd lose the -Ki486 -belf as they are not needed for 
UnixWare. 

You can look at man pages at:

http://uw7doc.sco.com

or my site at:
http://www.lerctr.org:457

I also gave neil (nas) a login, and can do the same for you.

OK, upload fails, so try this inline. You may succeed with
cut-n-paste from the HTML source

Can you provide an example compiler invocation to see what
options are actually used? One -c invocation and one linker
invocation would be good.

What about -KPIC -Ki486 -belf -Wl,-Bexport? This is what is
currently used on SCO_SV.

Can you please try the attached patch (patch1 if upload
succeeds)?

What does "uname -u" say for UnixWare?
