I've started to compile python in my clone of the mxe repo.
  https://github.com/schloegl/mxe.git

It compiles parts of python but stops when trying to start the parser
generator pgen.exe. This site
  http://randomsplat.com/id5-cross-compiling-python-for-embedded-linux.html
seems to address that problem.
