Debug build uses the same ABI as release build
-----------------------------------------------
Python now uses the same ABI when built in release and in debug mode. On Unix,
when Python is build in debug mode, it is now possible to load C extensions
built in release mode and C extensions built using the stable ABI.
Python now uses the same ABI whether it built in release or debug mode. On
Unix, when Python is built in debug mode, it is now possible to load C
extensions built in release mode and C extensions built using the stable ABI.
Release build and debug build are now ABI compatible: the ``Py_DEBUG`` define
no longer implies the ``Py_TRACE_REFS`` define which introduces the only ABI
incompatibility. A new ``./configure --with-trace-refs`` build option is now
required to get ``Py_TRACE_REFS`` define which adds :func:`sys.getobjects`
function and :envvar:`PYTHONDUMPREFS` environment variable.
Release builds and debug builds are now ABI compatible: defining the
``Py_DEBUG`` macro no longer implies the ``Py_TRACE_REFS`` macro, which
introduces the only ABI incompatibility. The ``Py_TRACE_REFS`` macro, which
adds the :func:`sys.getobjects` function and the :envvar:`PYTHONDUMPREFS`
environment variable, can be set using the new ``./configure --with-trace-refs``
build option.

On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython. It is now possible to
load a C extension built using a shared library Python
with a statically linked Python.

It is now possible for a statically linked Python to load a C extension built

When Python is embedded, ``libpython`` must not be loaded with ``RTLD_LOCAL``,
but ``RTLD_GLOBAL`` instead. Previously, using ``RTLD_LOCAL``, it was already
not possible to load C extensions which were not linked to ``libpython``, like

distutils, python-config and python-config.py have been modified.

you use ``./configure --with-pydebug``, rather than the options listed here.
