According to man ld (from Debian):

"All -L options apply to all -l options, regardless of the order in =

which the options appear."

So it should be ok to specify -L after -l.

python-config --prefix on the systems I've tested (that's NetBSD and =

Debian) returns the prefix path used for install, that's /usr on Debian =

and /usr/pkg on NetBSD.

Anyway, forget about this patch, a latter patch 3/3, fixes the library =

path search, so it's just easier to pass APPEND_LIB=3D/usr/pkg/lib to =

configure rather than touching the python_dev code.
