Does this also include cross compiling? I'm the maintainer of a python-for-arm-linux distribution (http://opie.net.wox.org/python) which is created using the OpenZaurus build infrastructure (http://openzaurus.org). To get Python cross compiled for arm-linux, I did a few (pretty rough) patches which I attached to this message. It would be useful for cross compiling, if (conceptually) the first two could be integrated into Python 2.3.3.

I think this is a worthy cause to try and support. (I love my Zaurus.)
I hope someone here can work with you on getting the patches in acceptable shape. You should start by uploading them to the patch manager in SourceForge. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

Correct. In addition, the patches should *first* be integrated into the CVS head, and then backported to 2.3. There is the possibility that cross-compilation support breaks native compilation procedures, which would not be acceptable for a point release. Regards, Martin
