In the future, please post to the list instead of emailing me directly
so others can benefit too.

My suggestion is to use Python 2.1a2 since it builds OOTB under Cygwin
1.1.8 or later.  Please see the following for details:

    http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-02/msg00004.html

Nevertheless, if you still want to use Python 2.0, I can offer the
following:

> gcc   -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/local/include/python2.0 -I/usr/local/include/python2.0 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./xxmodule.c
> gcc -shared  xxmodule.o  -o xxmodule.dll
> xxmodule.o(.text+0xf): undefined reference to `_PyObject_New'
> [snip]
> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The above problem is due to a missing "-DUSE_DL_IMPORT" flag during
compilation and missing "-L$(LIBPL) -lpython$(VERSION)" flags during
linking.  Did you do a make install before trying to run the make_shared
shell script?  If not, then that would explain the above behavior.
