Sorry, I got carried away and I didn't answer this question:-)

It _may_ be safe to build PythonCore with "export everything" in stead of the 
.exp file nowadays. There are a number of routines that should be included in 
every fragment: setjmp, __initialize, a few more. Many revisions of 
CodeWarrior ago the only way to ensure these weren't loaded from a shared 
library was to not export them from that library. I think, however, that the 
current CodeWarrior linker somehow knows about these magic routines (or 
somehow they're defined in such a way that they can't be exported).

I'd say: try it, and let us know the result. Let me think.... the "img" 
modules use setjmp/longjmp for their error handling. If you pass a garbage 
file to "imgpbm" and you don't get a crash you're fine:-)
