With my branch, you'll end up with this in /tmp/python: bin/python3.2m - the normal build binary bin/python3.2dmu - the wide+pydebug build binary bin/python3.2m-config bin/python3.2dmu-config

Do users really want to see such idiosyncratic suffixes?

... lib/libpython3.2.so.1.0.m lib/libpython3.2.so.1.0.dmum

Ditto here. This seems to break well-known conventions. If I look at /usr/lib{,64} on my machine, I can't see a single shared libary file that ends neither in ".so" nor ".so.".

Before trying to find a solution to your problem, I think it would be nice to get a consensus that this is really a desired feature.

Antoine.
