This is annoying. I am trying to build scipy right now but every .so

That shouldn't be necessary. Linking without this should work just fine.

Unfortunately, this was not my experience.

That way, since you made libpython2.5.a a static library, you link an
entire Python interpreter into each and every extension module. This
should not be done.

Actually, a straight configure, make, install of the python2.5 source produced this library.

What happens if you omit these flags?

Please see my last message to Robert Kern.
