Hi all. I'm trying to build Python 2.7.5 on a GNU/Linux (Linux Mint 14) system, but using a different sysroot (that is, a separate /usr/include, /usr/lib, etc., not the real one for my system).

This list is for the development of Python itself, not about using or installing it. Python-list (AKA comp.lang.python) is the right list to ask such questions. That said ...

However, I'm having serious problems building modules such as fcntl, etc. Looking at the output from the makefile, I can see that somehow, someone is forcibly adding "-I/usr/include/x8664-linux-gnu" to the link line: [...]

... include file and library file selections for building standard library modules are handled by the top-level setup.py file in the source tree. That's where /usr/local/... is added and chances are that the above header is being added by add_gcc_paths() in setup.py.
