I don't object if this is useful to anyone, but...

I am wondering whether it is really useful to link GDB against
libpython.a... I looked at the thread you referenced, and I still
wasn't sure what the problem was... Linking GDB against a static
libpython is something I thought about for AdaCore, but I also
realized that we'd need to distribute the python .py files anyway,
so it's not big deal to distribute the entire python install, including
share SOs...
