This works for me on Redhat 9:
g++ x.cpp -o x -I/usr/include/python2.2 -pthread -lm
-ldl -lutil /usr/lib/python2.2/config/libpython2.2.a
I discovered what libraries to link to by asking distutils:
import distutils.sysconfig
distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('LIBS')
distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('SYSLIBS')
g++ links to the right libraries for .cpp files.
