I'm using FreeBSD 6.2 on i386 and it links Python just fine with /usr/local/lib/python2.5/config/libpython2.5.a, so I suspect it has something to do with how Python gets built on an amd64. I don't have one to test it on, but have you tried rebuilding Python and then Fontforge? I just want to see if it's Python's fault, Fontforge's fault, or something weird with the way Fontforge's libtool is handling Python. I'm not even sure if Python is actually used by Fontforge either. I haven't looked into that.
