[Python-Dev] Where is this flag coming from? (original) (raw)

On my MacOS 10.2 system an unexpected flag is added to the link line for the bsddb module:

gcc -bundle -bundle_loader python.exe \
  build/temp.darwin-6.1-Power\ Macintosh-2.3/bsddbmodule.o \
  -L/sw/lib -L/sw/lib -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-R/sw/lib -ldb-4.1 \
  -o build/lib.darwin-6.1-Power\ Macintosh-2.3/bsddb.so

None of the other extension modules are linked with "-Wl,-R/sw/lib". I don't find "-R" in either setup.py or configure. Any idea where this is coming from and how to get rid of it?
