[Buildroot] Python standard library problems

[Pedro Sanchez <psanchez@fosstel.com>]

Well, I'm not trying to build specific Python modules. I'm just 
selecting the Python interpreter from BR's config menu, that's all. I 
was expecting to get a full interpreter with support for the Python 
standard library.

I'm trying to build BR now using the crosstool-ng toolchain ... If I run 
into similar problems then I'll see how to hook up into setup.py's 
output to see what's going on.
