Nope, haven't seen something like this yet.
I tried to google for "is input for the dynamic link editor, is not
relocatable"-
According to some of the results, it may be because of OS X using
the wrong linker (?).

Maybe you also need to link with -framework instead of -l.
Could you try the following?

    echo "int main() {}" > test.c
    gcc test.c -framework /Library/Python/2.3/PIL/_imaging.so
