-Subject: [PATCH] Fix get_python_inc() for cross-compilation
-
-When we are cross compiling, doing os.path.dirname(sys.executable) to
-get the build directory is incorrect, because we're executing the host
-Python to build things for the target. Instead, we should use the
-project_base variable.
-
-This fixes cross-compilation, which was adding incorrect header paths
-pointing to the location where the host Python was built:
-
-/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host/usr/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasing \

-  -o build/temp.linux2-arm-2.7/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/build/python-2.7.6/Modules/_struct.o
-
-This patch allows to fix the

-/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host/usr/bin paths that are
-incorrectly added to the header paths.

-Subject: [PATCH] Change the install location of _sysconfigdata.py
-
-The _sysconfigdata.py module contains definitions that are needed when
-building Python modules. In cross-compilation mode, when building
-Python extensions for the target, we need to use the _sysconfigdata.py
-of the target Python while executing the host Python.
-
-However until now, the _sysconfigdata.py module was installed in
-build/lib.<arch>-<version> directory, together with a number of
-architecture-specific shared objects, which cannot be used with the
-host Python.
-
-To solve this problem, this patch moves _sysconfigdata.py to a
-separate location, build/sysconfigdata.<arch>-<version>/, and only
-this directory gets added to the PYTHONPATH of the host Python
-interpreter when building Python modules for the target.

-Subject: [PATCH] Adjust library/header paths for cross-compilation
-
-When cross-compiling third-party extensions, the get_python_inc() or
-get_python_lib() can be called, to return the path to headers or
-libraries. However, they use the sys.prefix of the host Python, which
-returns incorrect paths when cross-compiling (paths pointing to host
-headers and libraries).
-
-In order to fix this, we introduce the _python_sysroot, _python_prefix
-and _python_exec_prefix variables, that allow to override these
-values, and get correct header/library paths when cross-compiling
-third-party Python modules.
-
-The _python_sysroot variable is also used to prefix the LIBDIR value
-taken from the sysconfigdata module.

-Subject: [PATCH] Fix python-config for cross-builds
-
-Add a backport of http://bugs.python.org/issue16235 so we can use
-python-config for cross builds.
-
-This basically replaces the python version of python-config with a
-pure-shell version that's already preprocessed when installed and
-doesn't depend on the sysconfig import that usually leads to bad
-data/results.

-
-    void _pysqlite_final_callback(sqlite3_context* context)
-    {
-        PyObject* function_result;

-
-    error:
-    #ifdef WITH_THREAD
-        PyGILState_Release(threadstate);
-    #endif
-    }
-
-This is not valid, and gcc complains.
-
-Fix that by adding a dummy statement after the label, so that the label
-is never the last statement of the function.

-Subject: [PATCH] Do not adjust the shebang of Python scripts for
- cross-compilation
-
-The copy_scripts() method in distutils copies the scripts listed in
-the setup file and adjusts the first line to refer to the current
-Python interpreter. When cross-compiling, this means that the adjusted
-shebang refers to the host Python interpreter.
-
-This patch modifies copy_scripts() to preserve the shebang when
-cross-compilation is detected.

-Subject: [PATCH] Add an option to disable expat
-
-This patch replaces the existing --with-system-expat option with a
---with-expat={system,builtin,none} option, which allows to tell Python
-whether we want to use the system expat (already installed), the expat
-builtin the Python sources, or no expat at all (which disables the
-installation of XML modules).

-Subject: [PATCH] Do not install the idle editor
-
-IDLE is the Python IDE built with the tkinter GUI toolkit. Since it's
-highly unlikely to ever be useful in an embedded Linux system
-generated by Buildroot, this patch simply disables the installation of
-idle and the related Python modules. It saves 800 KB-900 KB of
-installed .pyc files.

-Subject: [PATCH] Override system locale and set to default when adding gcc
- paths
-
-Forces the use of the default locale in the function
-add_gcc_paths, which is called when cross compiling to add the
-include and library paths. This is necessary because otherwise
-the gcc output is localized and the output parsing fails, which
-results in no paths added and detect_modules not able to find
-any system library (eg. libz, libssl, etc.)
