  Disagreement between pkg-config python and python-config

Bug description:
  I've found a disagreement between:

  $ python-config --libs
  -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -lpython2.7

  and

  $ pkg-config python --static --libs
  -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lpython2.7

  It seems to me that pkg-config is missing is missing -lm. The full
  list of packages is also larger than specified here. An attempt to
  embed python interpreter in a hello-world library will fail with
  multiple linkage issues due to missing openssl, libz and a few other
  things.
