[issue3754] cross-compilation support for python build

[Ray Donnelly]

Ray Donnelly added the comment:

Yes, patches are still required.

Mainly Roumen's big patch [1] and then a load more too. Matthias Klose has merged a few cross compilation patches.

Here my project with patches for 3.3.0 and an emphasis on cross:

...and here's mingwbuilds with the exact same patches (but likely tidier build scripts) without the cross focus:
https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds/tree/master/patches/Python-3.3.0

Next time there's a release of Python 3, I'll rebase my patches against that.
