[issue19142] Cross-compile fails trying to execute foreign pgen on build host

Sorry, I do not mean to compound an already open and complex problem.  I thought that the fixes in 2.7.4 were meant in part to help alleviate this problem.  I had not found any feedback or tutorials, so I wanted to provide a status update of sorts.  I'm sure there is some.  I just have not been able to find it myself.

If the configure script passed in the cross-compile tool-chain *and* the build-host tool-chain, could the Makefile be enhanced to build pgen and python first with the build-host and then use them to build the full cross-compiled versions?  Or, would there be a better general approach?

I am not familiar with the MINGW requirements.  Would this satisfy their needs?
