Hmm, currently the configure script probably doesn't work for cross
compiling, definitely for the non-C parts.  You can use --with-python to
point at another python binary, but it builds by using python's
setup.py, and I don't know if that supports cross compiling either.

If you don't need python, you can definitely compile without it
(--disable-python), otherwise, you might have to edit some Makefiles and
such after configure.

The exact version isn't necessary, what its doing is trying to find the
various include/libraries for python, which are often in a directory
that contains a version number.
