Did you start with a clean source tree? If you just reconfigured and called make again in the source tree where you already had built Python, make will just re-use the old object files, which would be built without -fPIC and whatever other options are required for the shared library linking to work. > > /usr/bin/ld: /test/python/lib/libpython2.7.a(abstract.o): relocation > R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a > shared object; recompile with -fPIC > /test/python/lib/libpython2.7.a: could not read symbols: Bad value > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status If you get this when building from a fresh source tree, I can't explain why this might happen, but, again, starting afresh, this time adding -fPIC to the CFLAGS, may work. But I expect that the configure script, or makefile, or libtool, or whatever, should do this, hence my guess that maybe you're using leftover object files.
