Hello, I think these patches are premature (they break compilation on OS X, and they break ctypes configure on my Linux box). that was unrelated. fixed last night.

It's also something the buildbots can catch easily.

Furthermore, they were committed post-beta, which means they should probably have waited for after the 3.3 release. So I propose for these commits to be reverted. somebody (?) asked on irc that either Martin or I should update the internal copies, and someone suggested to do the same with the expat sources. And I asked our release manager if he was ok with this post beta change.

(to be clear, I'm talking about all configure / Makefile / setup.py / libffi changes since and including http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/e6e99d449bdc876fa57111e7e534c44ecbc3bcbd ) the first cross-build fixes went in in April, please consider these fixes for the then incomplete cros-build fixes. The build issues you did see last night, were fixed for the OS X build, and I reverted the update for the compiler search paths for the native build. So please lets keep this cross-build support for 3.3. It's working, tested with a arm-linux-gnueabi build on x8664-linux-gnu.

FWIW, I agree that build fixes for platforms we already support are not a new feature. I am not happy about the amount of changes, and I hope that no such big changes will come until final now...
