Description MatusGuy 2025-06-13 16:00:51 UTC 
According to the python3-config script, libpython3 requires libdl. This library is provided via the mingw64-dlfcn package. But that package is not listed as a dependency.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Attempt to use python3-config in a build environment
Actual Results:
Linker asks for libdl but cannot find it because it is not installed

Expected Results:
libdl comes with the mingw64-python3 package

Additional Information:
Output of python3-config --libs:
$ /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/python3-config --libs
-lpython3.11 -ldl  -lpthread -lversion -lshlwapi -lpathcch -lbcrypt -lm
