Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

The latest Python versions don't install the .a static library in /usr/lib/python$ver/config but rather directly in /usr/$libdir so that it is available together with the shared version.

The ebuild in question tries to explicitly link against the static Python version, which also becomes a security problem when there _is_ a vulnerability in python.

Please just make it link against libpython.so.

Thanks,
Diego
