Apparently Python on some linux distros is being linked by g++ rather than gcc, resulting in the C++ runtime library being linked into Python; this has bad consequences for compatibility between C++ extension modules and Pythons that have been built with different versions of GCC. Is this behavior intentional?

Configure with --without-cxx to not use g++. Since there is an option in configure, I assume it is intentional.
