Ah, there's a tricky one.  Is libqgispython meant to be a "library",  
linked by other plugins or the Qgis app?  Or is it more like a plugin,  
loaded by Qgis?

I see that none of Qgis, libqgis_* or python/qgis/*.so directly link  
libqgispython.  Yet it is compiled as a library (not bundle) and also  
links directly to the python binary.

If libqgispython is dynamically loaded by Qgis, thet it should also be  
compiled as a bundle and not linked to python.

If libqgispython is meant to be used as a library by other binaries  
(ie python extensions), then it still shouldn't link directly to  
python, but expect Python to be loaded in some way by whatever is  
linking to it.  It would have to compile with -undefined  
dynamic_lookup then.
