I always BUILD_SHARED on -STABLE boxes these days though, and it works great. I've built with this patch on the -CURRENT box i'm now typing on (ordinary i386), and it appears to be working nicely so far. Looks good to me. I wonder if the BUILD_SHARED knob should not be kept though. It seems this patched port installs static as bin/python[2.3] ... along with bin/python-shared[2.3]. But people who are used to BUILD_SHARED probably won't expect bin/python now to be a non-shared version, which they then will have to overwrite with the shared version manually. Perhaps if BUILD_SHARED is specified then bin/python will be the shared binary; and bin/python-static[2.3] would also be placed. But this is starting to get confusing... maybe it should always install python-static and python-shared ... and the knob just control which is copied to plain bin/python. Well, just my observations anyhow. Doesn't really matter to me.
