Hi Caolan

thanks a lot for your response

i had a look and here is the patch i deduced. may be wrong as makefile 
things are a bit cryptic to me ;)

i have a remaining question though (may be dummy) :

why in python_LDFLAGS do we use /usr/lib and not /usr$/lib as on other 
lines. is it important ? does it make any difference ?

as i told, in previous build i myself made, i had no problem. the 
problem on
 >>> import ssl
only occured with the official downloaded .deb (amd64)

so even if it builds i can't verify if the patch solves (or destroy) 
anything :(

thanks a lot again, and if something is pushed please consider also to 
provide it for 3.5.3 if possible as i'll need it
