Since it is getting late I decided to just ask Bradley M. Froehle is helping out with python3-mpi4py and we ran into an interesting effect that clean chroot fails to build under Debian sid due to -lffi (while libffi-dev is nohow pulled in through build-depends)
> python3.2 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_config_var; > print(get_config_var('MODLIBS'))" -lssl -lcrypto -lssl -lcrypto -lffi -L/usr/lib -lz -lexpat while with python2 and python3.2 under Ubuntu 12.04 does not include -lffi . Those are defined in > grep LOCALMODLIBS= "/usr/lib/python3.2/config-3.2mu/Makefile" LOCALMODLIBS= -lssl -lcrypto -lssl -lcrypto -lffi -L$(exec_prefix)/lib -lz -lexpat which is > head "/usr/lib/python3.2/config-3.2mu/Makefile" # Generated automatically from Makefile.pre by makesetup. # Top-level Makefile for Python ... but I haven't checked where it gets those libraries listing from and why it picks up ffi exclusively in Debian sid. Maybe some one has a ready answer? -- Yaroslav O.
