  Fix for issue #7085

  On MacOSX 10.6 the CoreFoundation framework must be initialized on the main
  thread, the constructor function in that framework will cause an SIGABRT when
  it is called on any other thread.

  Because a number of extension link (indirectly) to CoreFoundation and the
  Python core itself didn't the interpreter crashed when importing some
  extensions, such as _locale, on a secondary thread.

  This fix ensures that Python is linked to CoreFoundation on OSX, which results
  in the CoreFoundation constructor being called when Python is loaded. This
  does not require code changes.
