[issue3754] cross-compilation support for python build

[Matthias Klose]

Matthias Klose <doko at debian.org> added the comment:

some of these changes are now available in trunk, tested with a x86_64-linux-gnu to arm-linux-gnueabihf cross build.

using issue 14324 for configure tests which need fixes, and issue 14327 for the use of uname in the configure script.

please feel free to open separate issues for the changes in the distutils package and the packaging package.
