New submission from Valeo de Vries :
I'm under the impression that this is issue is known about, however I couldn't
find an existing bug, so I'm creating a new one for the following test failure:
test_distutils
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
cannot find -lpython2.6
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
test test_distutils failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but surely trying to link against the
system (i.e. already installed, pre-existing) libpython2.6 defeats the purpose
of having a testsuite, if you're not actually going to be testing what you're
actually installing?
Any enlightenment here would be appreciated.
