Four or more years ago I cross compiled Python for an older ARM
processor (no mmap support), I statically linked with uclibc and
libxslt/libxml2.
It worked and performed reasonably. I just used the base Python source.
The only problem I had was the Python's makefile tries to compile itself
twice, clearly that didn't work in a cross-compile situation but I
worked around it by changing the makefile.
I think I had posted some suggestions to python-dev list about how to
better support cross-compile development. I don't remember and I don't
know if they accepted my suggestions.

Hi -
We have an embedded device with 8MB flash and 32 MB RAM with ARM 9
processor runining 2.6.XX. kernel. We just used standard linux
(Debian) and configured (or hacked it) to suit our needs. I am looking
for a python distribution that has the math library, some IPC
mechanisms and some string functions. Thats all.
Any pointers on a python distribution for embedded applications is
deeply appreciated.
I have looked at distributions like tinypy etc.
