Tried to emerge with LDSHARED="i586-pc-interix6.0-gcc -shared" which results in

Replacing python.exe with a symlink to the system python allows compilation to continue.

Next, building _curses and dbm fails:

The dbm failure is caused by having -lgdbm before -lgdbm_compat. Linking with

i586-pc-interix6.0-gcc -shared -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG build/temp.interix-6.1-x86-2.6/opt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.6.5-r1/work/Python-2.6.5/Modules/dbmmodule.o -L/opt/gentoo/usr/lib -L. -lgdbm_compat -lgdbm -lpython2.6 -o build/lib.interix-6.1-x86-2.6/dbm.so

fixes it.

The _curses failure is due to ld trying to link against /usr/lib/x86/libncurses.a instead of /opt/gentoo/usr/lib/libncurses.a. I'm not sure if this is specific to this package but I think this has come up before. Is this a prefix issue? Anyway, linking with 

i586-pc-interix6.0-gcc -shared -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG build/temp.interix-6.1-x86-2.6/opt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.6.5-r1/work/Python-2.6.5/Modules/_cursesmodule.o -L/opt/gentoo/usr/lib -L. /opt/gentoo/usr/lib/libncurses.a -lpython2.6 -o build/lib.interix-6.1-x86-2.6/_curses.so

works.

After these steps the merge now completes, resulting in... a python binary that crashes and then immediately relaunches itself in a loop. 
Comment 2 Sin Li 2010-04-19 15:06:48 UTC
Ok, here's what I'm seeing so far.

If LDSHARED is ld, the bootstrapped python.exe for building works but the extensions fail to build because ld doesn't understand -DNDEBUG. After removing -DNDEBUG ld complains about missing references to functions found in libm and libdl. Adding -lm and -ldl leads to extensions failing with:
/opt/gcc.3.3/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol ___PosixProcessStartup; defaulting to 00001000
Using LDSHARED="ld --shared -lc" builds the extensions but at the end of the build they claim to have failed with messages like:
*** WARNING: renaming "_struct" since importing it failed: build/lib.interix-6.1-x86-2.6/_struct.so: unable to read file header: No such file or directory

Changing LDSHARED to gcc or gcc --shared produces 
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)

LDSHARED="gcc -ldl -lm -lc " produces
/usr/lib/x86/crt0.o(.text+0x28): undefined reference to `_main'


So, what exactly should be used to link the modules?

this has been fixed a long time ago IIRC. at least, python 2.6.5 builds fine for me on interix 6.1

Yay :)

I did notice though that the _sockets extension needed -lbind added while linking though.

huh? very strange - it builds as-is for me. and the socket extension _is_ there. even with poll support now.
