Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

The cross-compile support isn't tested very often, and it may need some
work in various areas to improve it.  It certainly seems likely that we
assume the python version is the same (as of course the build system is
built with python). 

Sadly I can't really help much right now, you may find it less
frustrating to switch to newer tools than to try and figure this out.
