On the one hand, libboost_python.so on Linux (and libboost_python.dylib on MacOS X for the record) is not directly linked to libpythonx.y.so. On the other hand, libboost_python is only linked to Boost Python extensions that are loaded by Python at runtime, and then of course the Python exec is linked to libpythonx.y.so. So we first need to understand why the gold linker complains for libscitbx_boost_python but not for libboost_python or for any of the cctbx Boost Python extensions that directly use the Python API. I must admit I don't have a clue here. And then considering what you both told me, we need to fix the problem upstream. And I have to honestly admit that I don't really know what that
