b) Does this fix seem like the sensible thing to do? No. Linking in setup.py should use the same options as if the module was built as shared through Modules/Setup, which, IIUC, should use BLDLIBRARY.

Thanks for that pointer, that makes much more sense. Indeed, BLDLIBRARY on FreeBSD* is set to '-L. -lpython$(VERSION)' if you set --enable-shared, but somehow that piece of information doesn't propagate into the module build. More investigation to be done...
