First off, this isn't really on-topic for comp.lang.c, as it is a question
regarding a linker, interacting
with the results of various options given to a specific compiler.

 Without compilers and linkers a C program would just be a load of text.

And without people to write it and buildings in which to work it wouldn't even be that, so by your argument everything from demographics to urban planning would be topical here.
It's an old argument, but it has never been a good one.

 

together programs written in many different languages. The subject line
and the text of the error messages indicate that it's a Python program,
so why would a group devoted to C be in any way appropriate?

 If you'd taken 2 seconds to look at it you'd realise the issue was building
the Python source code which is written in C. That sounds like a C issue to me.

Then you have very gullible ears. Building the Python source is an issue for a specific compiler group.
