we specifically disable python support when cross-compiling (mostly because we 
don't care about python on the target), so haven't hit any problems.

however, be aware that cross-compiling python modules is completely f-ed up, 
and it's usually not the fault of end module builders (i.e. gpsd).  the python 
system itself is pretty bad when it comes to distutils as it likes to mix the 
compiler settings used to build python itself when building modules.

ChromiumOS has a few hacks to try and make this work, but i haven't looked too 
closely at is as we don't generally do python for the target.
