Ron,

Try hacking in something to link against the python library. Perhaps
something like adding the following line after the include statement
in gdal/pymod/GNUmakefile:

LIBS := $(LIBS) /sw/lib/libpython2.1.so

Of course, you will have to adjust the library name to match your circumstances.

On Linux the above functions remain undefined in the _gdalmodule.so, and are
already satisfied when the module is loaded by Python since the python
executable links against the required library.

I guess it must be the same on most other Unix platforms since I haven't
run into this problem before.

Good luck,
