OK, this sounds like a good verification. Thanks for testing this for me.
Can you make another check and try the v3.4.2 upstream tag?
$ make clean
$ git clean -df
$ git checkout v3.4.2
$ ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
and try again? Maybe the issue was fixed between v3.4.2 and HEAD.

You can verify the library being using with the `ldd` command.
For example:
$ ldd `which python2.7`
So, my next guess is that there is something wrong with the Debian source
package. Maybe it's actually not version 3.4.2 that is being used.
