Comment:

 This bug is somewhat related to http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/573

 In distributions, e.g. Gentoo, there is global LDFLAGS and CFLAGS for
 system wide tuning. Considering "-shared" and "-fPIC" being crucial,
 adding them to gnu.py gnu95 executables is a reasonable idea.

 Patch attached.
