Perhaps the linker is not finding the python shared library?
I think it should.

One thing we should be aware of is that it seems that the Python
developers themselves made the static libpython the default, and users
building python need to explicitly request the dynamic libpython for it
to be built. Maybe python-config.py is skewed that way too (meaning,
lack of testing with the dynamic version of libpython).
