Oh, I see what you mean, finally.
I had read only the first description of -shared in libtool
documentation, and hadn't realized that was only for *compile mode*.
There's a slightly different description following that, in the
*link mode* options section.

Thanks for persevering.
Here's the revised patch.

Subject: [PATCH] let "configure --disable-shared" work once again

Without this change, ./autogen.sh --disable-shared && make would
evoke a "can not build a shared library" failure for libvirtmod.la
due to the new use of libtool's -shared link option in
python/Makefile.am.  Now, --disable-shared also
disables building python.

* configure.in: Make --disable-shared imply --without-python and
silently override --with-python.
