Subject: python-mpz: Incorrect library settings when compiling Python

Package: python-mpz
Version: 1.4.0-4

I've seen this before, from when I administrated a Slackware machine:

graham@A-abe:~$ python
Python 1.4 (Mar  4 1997)  [GCC 2.7.2.1 Objective-C snapshot 960906]
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import mpz
python: can't resolve symbol 'mpz_powm'
python: can't resolve symbol 'mpz_com'
python: can't resolve symbol 'mpz_get_ui'
python: can't resolve symbol 'mpz_sqrt'
python: can't resolve symbol 'mpz_abs'
...
python: can't resolve symbol 'mpz_mul'
python: can't resolve symbol 'mpz_set_ui'
python: can't resolve symbol 'mpz_mmod'
python: can't resolve symbol 'mpz_ior'
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: Unable to resolve symbol
>>>  

The problem is that somebody somewhere isn't sticking a -lgmp line when
they were compiled.  I'm pretty sure it doesn't have to be the main
Python interpreter, as Tkinter shows.  BTW, this would compile without a
hitch and not show up until I try to load the library, so you might look
at the compile settings for mpzmodule.  I haven't compiled Python again
for a while, but we're definitely not seeing libgmp.
