I've run at similar behavior ....
I'm totally ignorant about autoconf/automake stuff but I think problem affects 
python 2.2 bug in configure.in.

2.2 version triggers bad path to Makefile -> python is badly recognaised as 
linked without libs -> symbols are missing.

# set python std library variable
AC_MSG_CHECKING(what libraries Python was linked with)
AC_SUBST(LIBS)
if test -z "$PYTHON_SRC"; then
  PyLIBP=${PyEXEC_INSTALLDIR}/lib/python${PyVERSION}
  PyLIBPL=${PyLIBP}/config
  PyPYTHONLIBS=${PyLIBPL}/libpython${PyVERSION}.a
  PyLIBS=`grep "^LIB[[SMC]]=" ${PyLIBPL}/Makefile | cut -f2 -d= | tr 
'\011\012\015' '   '`
  PyMODLIBS=`grep "^LOCALMODLIBS=" ${PyLIBPL}/Makefile | cut -f2 -d= | tr 
'\011\012\015' '   '`
  PY_LIBS="${PyPYTHONLIBS} ${PyLIBS} ${PyMODLIBS}"
else
  PyPYTHONLIBS=${PYTHON_SRC}/libpython${PyVERSION}.a
  if test ${PyVERSION} = "2.1"; then
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ IMHO This test should be possitive for 2.2 
too

    PyLIBS=`grep "^LIB[[SMC]]=" ${PYTHON_SRC}/Makefile | cut -f2 -d= | tr 
'\011\012\015' '   '`
    PyMODLIBS=`grep "^LOCALMODLIBS=" ${PYTHON_SRC}/Makefile | cut -f2 -d= | tr 
'\011\012\015' '   '`
  else
    PyLIBS=`grep "^LIB[[SMC]]=" ${PYTHON_SRC}/Modules/Makefile | cut -f2 -d= | 
tr '\011\012\015' '   '`
    PyMODLIBS=`grep "^LOCALMODLIBS=" ${PYTHON_SRC}/Modules/Makefile | cut -f2 
-d= | tr '\011\012\015' '   '`
  fi
  PY_LIBS="${PyPYTHONLIBS} ${PyLIBS} ${PyMODLIBS}"
fi
