Hello,

I read this in comp.lang.python:

I would be grateful for an indication of whether this dynamic linking thing
works on Linux (I have 1.2.5) and what do I have to do to the Makefile or
whatever to have this work. My python binary is about 324kb now, which is no
problem, but it would be nice to make it smaller if it can be done.
