See the attached patch.

Looks like your version of gcc is defining sections with
.rodata.__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ - which is odd as that macro isn't used in
the code.  Does the second attached patch fix it for you?

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add PYTHON definition to Makefile.

Add PYTHON definition to Makefile so users can override it.  This
allows users to specify an exact python executable name to use during
the build.

Some versions of gcc appear to define these sections even though they
aren't used in the code.
