If I have python version X installed "natively" on my build machine (eg. at /usr/lib/libpython.*), and version Y installed somewhere else (eg. at $PYPATH), and I tell configure that I want to use the one at $PYPATH, eg. configure --with-python=$PYPATH Shouldn't I expect gdb to be linked against python version Y? That doesn't seem to be what happens, in fact "ldd" tells me that gdb wants to use version X at /usr/lib/libpython*.
