In Python 3.4+, upstream added and switched to using a shell
implementation of the python-config script [1]. The Python
implementation (python-config.py) remained used by all versions < 3.4.
While the shell implementation returns the path to the Python
shared library when using the --ldflags script argument, the Python
implementation of the script does not. The bug has been reported, but
has not yet been merged [2].
The Python ports currently default to including ${LOCALBASE}/lib
in LIBS when the NLS option is enabled (which it is by default).
When built *with* NLS (gettext) support, the flags added to LIBS
are returned in `pythonX.Y-config --ldflags` output, which happens
to match the path to the Python shared library.
If the NLS option is disabled, ${LOCALBASE}/lib is not added to LIBS,
and are therefore not returned in --ldflags output.
This results in potential linking errors for software that uses
python-config to obtain the correct library path, when the NLS option is
disabled:
$ make WITH=PYTHON -C audio/alsa-lib
[...]
--- smixer-python.la ---
CCLD smixer-python.la
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpython2.7
This change modifies the python-config.in script to match the shell
implementation, outputting the library path in --ldflags output.
While I'm here:
for Python 3.2 and Python 3.3 ports, backport a library order
change [3]. This could affect linking with static libraries.

Parser/pgen code intermittently and non-deterministically fails
at build time causing errors including, among others:
* Parser/pgen.o: file not recognized: File truncated
* pgenmain.c:(.text+0x244): undefined reference to `_Py_pgen'
This is apparently due to incorrect uses of recursive make [1] which
was fixed in the upstream Python 'default' (3.5) branch [2].
This change marks all Python port versions as MAKE_JOBS_UNSANFE until
the the original changeset [1] and the resulting regression in
cross-builds [3], whos fix is still pending, can be backported.

Investigating the comment regarding a 'configure script bug' lead me
to a bug which manifested itself in 'm' not being added to ABIFLAGS
when PYMALLOC was enabled, not the inability to set
--without-pymalloc using PYMALLOC_CONFIGURE_WITH (options helpers).
The incorrect ABIFLAGS caused packaging failures with default options, so
I'm not sure how this wasn't picked up earlier:
Error: Orphaned: include/python3.2u/<file>
<snip>
Error: Missing: include/python3.2mu/<file>
- Backport an upstream commit [1] to correct the configure bug that never
made it to the 3.2 branch.
- Use options helpers for PYMALLOC accordingly

A vulnerability was reported [1] in Python's socket module, due to a
boundary error within the sock_recvfrom_into() function, which could be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow.
This could be used to crash a Python application that uses the
socket.recvfrom_info() function or, possibly, execute arbitrary code
with the permissions of the user running vulnerable Python code.
This vulnerable function, socket.recvfrom_into(), was introduced in
Python 2.5. Earlier versions are not affected by this flaw. This is
fixed in upstream branches for version 2.7, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3.

The current FreeBSD/ARM __clear_cache() implementation does nothing #if
__i386__ || __x86_64__ #else abort();
cognet@ advises this is an issue for anything !Apple that is using the
libcompiler_rt provided by Clang on ARM, and requires upstreaming.
This is the root cause of abort() on import for the ctypes module in
Python, as they bundle libffi. [1]
This change patches the bundled libffi library in all Python ports, even
though it is a NOOP for the ports that use devel/libffi. These ports,
currently python31, will get the fix via ports/184517

the patch to address it. Thank you!
