I believe I figured out why your build was successful.  You built
against a sqlite3 that provided a static library (i.e., libsqlite3.a):

    $ tar -tvjf libsqlite3-devel-3.5.9-1.tar.bz2 | fgrep usr/lib/libsqlite3
    -rw-r--r-- Yaakov/None  403280 2008-05-22 00:52 usr/lib/libsqlite3.a
    -rwxr-xr-x Yaakov/None  102334 2008-05-22 00:52 usr/lib/libsqlite3.dll.a
    -rwxr-xr-x Yaakov/None     909 2008-05-22 00:52 usr/lib/libsqlite3.la

So, now we have two approaches to solve this problem:

1. release a sqlite3 with a static library
2. change Python to build against the import library

Does sqlite3 have a maintainer?  If so, then please release a new
package with the static library included.  This is an easy, short term
fix that can be used, while I pursue the other (harder, more long term)
approach.

Thanks,
Jason
