I'm assuming your own python build is a framework build...

That worries me some, you shouldn't be using -l but rather -framework.

We didn't do any work towards locating python in a non-standard 
location.  I'll have to look into what we did to make this use the 
python in our Komodo.app/Frameworks/Python.framework.  I think we do 
something post build to force the linkage to the executable's python 
framework.  Our linkage for _xpcom.so looks like:

otool -L /Applications/Komodo.app/Contents/MacOS/python/xpcom/_xpcom.so
/Applications/Komodo.app/Contents/MacOS/python/xpcom/_xpcom.so:
         @executable_path/libxpcom.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, 
current version 1.0.0)
         @executable_path/libplds4.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, 
current version 1.0.0)
         @executable_path/libplc4.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, 
current version 1.0.0)
         @executable_path/libnspr4.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, 
current version 1.0.0)
         /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, 
current version 71.1.3)
 
@executable_path/../Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python 
(compatibility version 2.4.0, current version 2.4.0)
