-These are the steps that I took to get dynamic loading working under NeXTSTEP  
-(3.3 m68k, i486) for Python1.4beta3 (including the Numeric stuff).   
-Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the configure scripts, so I don't  
-know how to fix these things properly, but this works for me.  I would be  
-interested in how other people have done this as well.
-
-/configure --prefix=/home/horst/Unix --with-readline=/home/horst/Unix/lib  
---with-thread --with-next-archs='m68k i486' --without-libm
-
-edit Python/importdl.c
-	under:
-		#ifdef USE_RLD
-	add:
-		#define SHORT_EXT ".a"
-		#define LONG_EXT "module.a"
-
-edit Modules/Setup
-	uncomment *shared*
-	(other editing as desired)
-
-make (just to create the Makefiles)
-
-edit Makefiles
-	change all AR= ar to AR = libtool
-	change all $(AR) cr ... to $(AR) -o ...
-	in Modules/Makefile change:
-		libm =
-		LDSHARED=	cc -r -nostdlib $(CFLAGS)
-		CCSHARED=	-r -nostdlib
-		LINKFORSHARED=	-u libsys_s
-
-make "OPT=-O3 -fschedule-insns2 -ObjC -arch m68k -arch i486"

-Wow, I guess I was overzealous with the optimizations.  Upon further
-testing, I discovered that the Numeric stuff did not work properly on
-Intel machines, but did work properly on m68k.  I dropped the
-optimization to -O2 (leaving out the -fschedule-insns2), and it seems
-to behave properly on both architectures now.
-
-So,
-
-make "OPT=-O2 -ObjC -arch m68k -arch i486"
-
-looks like a better choice.
-
-Sorry for the misguidance,
