Summary0005131: Python 3.8 does not get linked
DescriptionWhen I built darkradiant, the scripting function was missing, with errors about undefined symbols printed to the log. It turns out that as of python 3.8, python-config --libs does not provide the argument to link python itself. A new --embed option was added which provides this instead.

Example:
$ python-config --libs
 -lcrypt -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -lm

$ python-config --libs --embed
-lpython3.8 -lcrypt -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -lm

Here's the python commit that added --embed: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/13500
Steps To ReproduceBuild darkradiant on a system with python 3.8
Additional InformationAdding --embed in addition to --libs fixed the problem for me, but I have not tested whether this is backwards-compatible to earlier versions of python. If --embed causes earlier versions to fail, you may need to have a fallback to call --libs only.
