I was trying to build python with a cross-compiler, so I put my cross-compiler
bin directory in the front of my path and executed the configure script. The
fact that a cross-compiler was being used was detected correctly, causing it to
fail later on at line 1922:
{ echo "configure: error: can not run test program while cross compiling"
1>&2; exit 1; }
This is a bug in configure, isn't it?

Depends on your point of view. It's a restriction that the configure
doesn't work with a cross compiler, because there are a bunch of tests
for which it needs to run code to determine the outcome.
If you want to contribute patches to configure.in to supply defaults
(I think there are 6-8 cases) that would be approciated. See
python.org/patches/.
