Hi,

The following patch works for me

        $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/python setup.py install
--executable=/usr/bin/python \
        --single-version-externally-managed --root=/ --prefix=$(TARGET_DIR)/usr)


Host variant is installed in
output/host/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.36-py2.7.egg
and target variant in output/target/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools

What do you think? I think the 'target variant' of setuptools can be
removed in a subsequent patch if necessary.

  Yes, please submit as a proper patch. I'll test and ack it.

  It's not really necessary though. Doesn't hurt to keep it around.
