Segfault in vgetargskeywords

P

PlayDough

I am using ActivePython 2.5.1 (python --version returns 'Python
2.5.1') and I am trying to embed/extend. It is segfaulting in
vgetargkeywords during the call to Py_Initialize().

Now, we are using a non-standard configuration, and perhaps some
explanation is in order. Here's our system config (via 'uname -a' with
the hostname stripped):

Linux xxx.xxx.com 2.6.9-67.0.4.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Jan 18 05:00:58
EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Or from the syslog:

Linux version 2.6.9-67.0.4.ELsmp (brewbuilder@hs20-
bc2-4.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9))
#1 SMP Fri Jan 18 05:00:58 EST 2008

I've already run into the problem linking because of the __ctype_b
issue, but I think I've worked around that with '-Wl,-wrap' (at least
it links). Here's the compilation command line I am doing:

gcc -ggdb -O0 `python-config --includes` -o main main.c `python-
config --ldflags` -Wl,-wrap,__ctype_b -Wl,-wrap,__ctype_tolower -Wl,-
wrap,__ctype_toupper

Where GCC is:

gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)

And the code is just a single call to Py_Initialize(). There is the
additional code to handle the wrap of __ctype_b:

#include
#include

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Py_Initialize();

return 0;
}

__const unsigned short int **__wrap___ctype_b(void)
{
return __ctype_b_loc();
}

__const __int32_t **__wrap___ctype_tolower(void)
{
return __ctype_tolower_loc();
}

__const __int32_t **__wrap___ctype_toupper(void)
{
return __ctype_toupper_loc();
}

So, after compiling, when I run it it coredumps with a segfault.
Looking at the stack trace with gdb yields:

Any ideas what is causing this problem? It appears to be while
importing the __builtin__ package, but beyond that I'm not sure.
