Subject: python should be built with thread / shared library support

Package: python

Python should be built with thread support enabled, as well as with
support for linking the python interpreter into other applictions as a
shared library.

Currently, building python with thread support enabled causes a number
of the python libraries to break (possibly because shared libraries
they depend on have yet to be compiled with -D_REENTRANT).
