Modified Files: fixapplepython23.py Log Message: Just passing -undefined dynamiclookup isn't enough: we also need to set the MACOSXDEPLOYMENTTARGET environment variable to 10.3 when calling the loader. And we do this with "env" because distutils apparently doesn't understand environment variable assignments before command names.

This is the wrong fix. Distutils is dumber than you think. This patch just breaks C++ compilation in a different way. The correct solution is a patch to distutils of some kind.

from distutils/unixccompiler.py:174

             if target_lang == "c++" and self.compiler_cxx:
                 linker[0] = self.compiler_cxx[0]
             self.spawn(linker + ld_args)

"linker" is the variable expanded LDSHARED (or whatever comes out of sysconfig.customize_compiler).
