[ZeroIntensity]

Python 3.11 is security-only, so we can't fix this there. Does it compile on 3.13+?

[AAB94]

@ZeroIntensity let me try building it on 3.13

[picnixz]

So the -h flag is not recognized by ld but I don't know from whereh -h in -Wl, is coming from. Is it something that was auto-generated or not?

[AAB94]

Yes I did not supply any flags, Is it ok to use IBM compiler we have 16.1 (latest patch)

[picnixz]

Unfortunately, I don't have access to such machines so I don't know how to help. Maybe there is some -h coming from configure.ac (maybe a typo?), however I couldn't find a reference to -h inside the script so I don't really know =/
