[Roumen Petrov]

Roumen Petrov <bugtrack at roumenpetrov.info> added the comment:

The new patch is attached. Now the patch allow native build for mingw*
host OS. The build id tested in MSYS environment. The issue title is
updated to reflect this.
The main changes:
- native build require four more build-in modules (_functools, operator
,_locale, _winreg) otherwise setup.py fail to load;
- changes in distutils for python 2.6+. The previous patch work on
python 2.4 run in cross environment;
- don't build with libintl;
- use long double functions ldexp() atan2() from mingwex library as
replacement for buggy msvcrt implementation.


The new patch don't include changes related to issue 4288 (see also
issue 4279).
