You can simply change the linker flags that distutils uses by sudo  
editing the LDSHARED (definitely) and BLDSHARED (maybe) definitions in:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/ 
config/Makefile

You will also need to make sure to have the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET  
environment variable set to 10.3 whenever you use distutils, or else ld  
will probably complain since the default is 10.1 compatibility and this  
linker flag was not available until 10.3.
