I was trying to build python with a cross-compiler, so I put my cross-compiler
bin directory in the front of my path and executed the configure script. The
fact that a cross-compiler was being used was detected correctly, causing it to
fail later on at line 1922:
    { echo "configure: error: can not run test program while cross compiling"
1>&2; exit 1; }

This is a bug in configure, isn't it?
