Hello, Wondering if your still offering some support. 
 
As people have reported success with 2.4.2 I decided to use 
that version. I have been carefull to follow the steps as 
described but still having some difficulty. 
 
The steps I take are: 
 
patch -p3 < ../python-patch 
autoconf configure.in >configure 
mkdir cross-build 
cd cross-build 
../configure --host=cris-axis-linux-gnu 
--build=i486-slackware-linux 
 
I also edit the LINKCC line in the makefile and include 
-static (as I want to run on devboard with limited memory 
and not to worry about shared libraries) 
 
make throws lots of errors like:

make install prefix=/root/Python-2.4.2/cross-build 
 
throws the same errors but finishes. 
 
I then mount cross-build via nfs and run python

Any hint as to what might be causing these errors would be 
most appreciated. 
 
Cheers
