So, after trying various ways to add that flag before lpython in
setup.py, I stripped all --allow-shlib-undefined
--no-allow-shlib-undefined feom the Makefile, ran make clean, and
make.

I still get the following error:
Modules/python.o \
                -lc -ldl -lm  -L. -lpython2.7   -lm
./libpython2.7.so: undefined reference to `sincos'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [python] Error 1

Should I repost this to the dev mailing list?
