[issue21536] extension built with a shared python cannot be loaded with a static python

C extensions are always linked to libpython on Android. I'm open to do something similar for Cygwin and/or MinGW if you can come up with a PR :-) See LIBPYTHON variable in configure.ac.

You can use Xavier's change as an example: commit 254b309c801f82509597e3d7d4be56885ef94c11, PR 12989.
