Hi Kai,

I thought I'd give the cross-compile route a further try. To that end, 
I've a cross-compiled python and so have it available to put in my path.
However, If I put the 'arm' version at the head of my path, configure 
fails immediately as it tries to use it and if I put it at the tail of 
my path, then during the configure process, configure finds the native 
python and tries to use it, which fails.

Is/are there any configure options to specify which python to use and 
when? I guess not.

The configure doesn't want to play nice with distcc either, again due to 
the python issue I guess.

Regards,
Mike.
