+On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython except on Android.
+
+It is now possible for a statically linked Python to load a C extension
+built using a shared library Python.
+
+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``, such as C extensions of the standard library
+built by the ``*shared*`` section of ``Modules/Setup``.
+
+distutils, python-config and python-config.py have been modified.

+Add ``-fmax-type-align=8`` to CFLAGS when clang compiler is detected. The
+pymalloc memory allocator aligns memory on 8 bytes. On x86-64, clang expects
