[PD] py and xsample in 0.40.3 extended under Linux

[altern]

i just had another look and i found that comenting out
OFLAGS=-O3
in the config-lnx-pd-gcc.txt solved it so now i could compile xsample 
and py and the seem to work fine.

nice, but the whole process requieres (in my opinon) a pretty good level 
of understanding linux and the compilation process and details. It would 
be nice if it was easier.

thanks! they are really useful externals
