With this patch all the libraries (including libpython2.7) now have a _d
suffix : is that what we really want ?

Once that's hacked in the recipe so that do_compile works - in case
someone has an idea - I get a failure during installation of
python-nativesdk :
build/tmp-eglibc/work/x86_64-nativesdk-oesdk-linux/python-nativesdk-2.7.2-r1.9/image/usr/local/oecore-x86_64/sysroots/x86_64-oesdk-linux/usr/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py :
return os.path.join(get_path('platstdlib'), "config" + (sys.pydebug and
"_d" or ""), "Makefile") | AttributeError: 'module' object has no
attribute 'pydebug

I checked on both debian & fedora and they are using this patch only to
generate debug packages, not for the standard package.
Moreover, when I execute gdb on my PC (Fedora 16) it runs fine and I
don't have readline_d.so installed in lib-dynload so it seems possible
to get gdb to work with python without having debug symbols.
