[issue28444] Missing extensions modules when cross compiling python 3.5.2 for arm on Linux

[Xavier de Gaye]

Xavier de Gaye added the comment:

The cross-build uses a native python to run setup.py to build the extension modules, and to run 'python -S -m sysconfig --generate-posix-vars' and to byte compile the modules from the standard library. So you do need a native python. That is why you should first build it natively, set the PATH so that the cross-build can find it and use it, and then run the cross-build.
