Our pkg-config misses flags for static linking with libpythonXX.a, such as "-lpthread -lutil -lrt" on Windows. For dynamic linking, this is not a problem since libpythonXX.so links explicitly against those system libraries.

(correction: in the first message, I meant "on Linux" not "on Windows". Of course :-))

Note that both implementations of python-config give the right information: $ ./python python-config.py --libs -lpython3.7m -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm $ sh python-config --libs -lpython3.7m -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm
