Forcing static libraries might work on GNU/Linux systems, but
we've found it to be unworkable in general.
Here is what we do at AdaCore: we build and install GDB inside
GDB's prefix, and use that to configure GDB. You can then ship
the entire GDB install, including Python. As long as the Python
path is inside the GDB prefix, GDB should be locating the Python
install fine (unless the user has the PYTHONHOME environment
variable set, in which case I believe it overrides GDB's default
behavior).
