[ctypes-users] how to cross compile ctypes for ARM9 MontaVista

[Border <bo...@gm...>]

Hi All:
    I have build python 2.5.2 from source for an embedded ARM9 MontaVista,
but ctypes doesn't build. Anybody have any idea what the problem is?

root:/> python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Aug 25 2008, 23:00:14)
[GCC 3.4.3 (MontaVista 3.4.3-25.0.30.0501131 2005-07-23)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
