[Python-Dev] [PATCH] Allow Python to build on MIPS Targets

[Mark Miller]

When the merging of the libffi3 branch took place in March, it broke the logic in configure and fficonfig.py.in to deal with MIPS architecture, specifically differentiating in which files to include for MIPS_IRIX versus MIPS_LINUX. I've re-added that logic based on the older code, and adjusted a few things to deal with the new format.

I just tested this on my QEMU instance of a MIPSEL Linux install, and works successfully. Before, it died with the error noted here: http://bugs.python.org/issue4305 , when attempting to reference a non-existent array member in fficonfig.py.in, for the MIPS target. (Rather than MIPS_LINUX or MIPS_IRIX, like the file wants)
