I don't understand why you are seeing this. For instance, on my Ubuntu
distribution where the system python was installed with a shared
libpython, I see that GDB is correctly linked against a libpython.so
rather than linked with the archive:

    % ldd gdb
            [...]
            libpython2.6.so.1.0 => /usr/lib/libpython2.6.so.1.0 (0x00007fae940a8000)
            [...]

There must be something else in your case that causes the problem (?).
