[New-bugs-announce] [issue36852] Python3.7.2 fails to cross-compile (yocto / openembedded) when target is mips softfloat

[Matthias Schoepfer]

New submission from Matthias Schoepfer <matthias.schoepfer at googlemail.com>:

Python 3.7.2 fails to cross compile for yocto / openembedded when target is mips softfloat, because the OS triple is not detected correctly by configure.ac. The configure script magic just catches for __mips__hard_float defines, but I guess, __mips__soft_float also indicates a mips architecture. 

Added patch
