This is bad. I had a similar problem a while ago. I made a python extension in c++ and I wrapped it with swig. When I wanted to compile my extension with profiling support, (for profile guided optimization), the python interpreter gave me a similar error, ie undefined symbols in the shared library. Any fixes?
