[Buildroot] Python standard library problems

[Dominic Newton <dominic.newton@in-2-technology.co.uk>]

Hi,

What version of gcc are you using and what is your target? I have python 
fully functional on x86 and arm platforms with latest buildroot and use 
all 3 modules you are having problems with.

One thing that can help is the setup.py file in the python build 
directory manages the build of the compiled modules like _socket, and 
the output from this file may give a clue on any missing dependencies or 
include files.
