I can do this, but afaics, that shouldn't be necessary, this is nothing
to do with developing python programs.

I have a perfectly good python application, which relies on find_library
to find a dynamic library at run-time. (for what it's worth, this is
geodjango, which wants to be able to get at libgeos_c.so)

Since I don't have python-dev installed (because I don't want to develop
a new python program, I just want to run an existing one), then my
application keeps failing - it can't find the dynamic libraries it
needs, because find_library keeps on returning None. It took me quite a
while to track down the fact that it was due to binutils missing.

Therefore, I contend that this is not a development feature, this is
simply required for the Python runtime, and as such is still a bug, so
I'm reopening it.
