After spending some more time on this and getting a ton of help from RP:

Python can't link to anything in ${base_libdir} due to a combination of python having a stupid buildsystem and the patches we apply to make it less stupid. The only fix I found to get hashlib and ssl to work in python is to revert the patch to openssl that moves libcrypto around.

I really need python unbroken in the release branch, so I see a few scenarios:

1) revert openssl patch, seperate /usr doesn't work properly anyway in this release
2) fix python
3) revert openssl patch, statically link libcrypto into dhclient.
4) bbappend openssl in meta-angstrom to revert the openssl patch

There are probably more scenarios, but I'm going to have lunch before thinking some more about it. My question to all of you:

	How do you want to fix this for denzil and how do you want to fix this for master?

And to be clear: I'm mean getting things into the denzil branch of OE-core, not getting it into the release, it's too late for that.
