Shouldn't pythonXX/config contain symlink to libpythonXX.so ?

[Micket]

I've seen at least one application (GPAW) needlessly statically link to libpython*.a due to it adding -Lpath/to/pythonXX/config.
This, in turn, is causing me problems to build applications due to #1068 (whereas the shared library links fine).

While, it's certainly not the nicest build scripts that starts mucking about in distutils.sysconfig.get_config_vars(), I have had a hard time finding out who is "wrong" in this situation.
For example on my debian machine, python-config --ldflags does point to the lib/pythonXX/config/ directory, which indicates to me that it is indeed meant to be used. On debian, this path also contains a symlink to libpythonXX.so.
This at least indicates that this is, on some platforms, somewhat normal linking behavior.
