IIRC this flag is peculiar to the FreeBSD port of python.   The link 
stuff in INN had to be patched to accommodate that quirk.

Threading is basically useless in this application, so an alternate 
workaround would be to skip the port and build the interpreter from the 
standard kit (again IIRC, about all the FreeBSD port glue does is add 
that flag).
