Well, you need to link against the python library to make known where the
respective symbols are from. That is also necessary for all other libs out
there - e.g. the linker switch -lm links against libm.so. For someone who
_codes_ in C/C++ that should be obvious - or so I thought. What
build-environment do you use?

The line

>>>/home/mmf/tmp/ccVD2V4h.o(.eh_frame+0x11): undefined reference to>>>`__gxx_personality_v0'

suggest that you also miss linking against libstdc++ - an error that
sometimes happened to me too - no idea why, it _should_ be included
implicitely when linking C++ objects. No big deal though, just also add it
to the linking process.
