Someone (I don't know who) submitted a patch to use SCons for building modules in cross-compilation contexts. Either the author tried to shoehorn this into distutils and failed or never tried (maybe because using SCons for such takss is much easier - who knows?). I assume that if the patch is accepted that SCons would have to be bundled with Python.

I don't see that as a requirement. People cross-compiling Python could be required to install SCons - they are used to install all kinds of things for a cross-compilation environment.

In particular, to run SCons, they need a host python. The just-built python is unsuitable, as it only runs on the target.
