Thanks for the response Ned!

I've tried it with all three options: no flag, --disable-shared, and
--enable-shared, and don't notice any difference in the results; even
with --enable-shared I don't seem to get any shared libs created.

I get a libgcc_s reference as well, since I'm building with GCC:

/Users/build/python/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_struct.so:
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 159.1.0)
        /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1105.0.0)

I wonder if using the GCC linker etc. is part of the problem?

I'm pretty sure but I'll triple-check.

The reason I've set PYTHONHOME is ultimately I need this installation to
be relocatable.  It's going to be shared across lots of different
systems and they'll have the ability to copy it wherever they want.

Hm; I am setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find the Python .so files.  Does
python figure out where to look for them by itself?

Thanks for this info; I'll get back to you.
