I tried building on Ubuntu 11.10 x64 and Python, openssl and binutils fails.
openssl I backported as recommended, and I then found the buildroot
patch after some searching.

Here is the comment from the Buildroot patch:

When compiling Python on a host running Linux 3.0, the sys.platform
constant is set at "linux3". A lot of code (inside the interpreter
itself, its build system and third party apps and libraries) relies on
it to be linux2 on a Linux system.

This leads to the build of the target python package to break.

This behaviour has been reported on the Python bugtracker but is not
fixed yet.

After I applied the three patches in the patchset,
I managed to complete the build without errors.
