Python-3.9.1: generate-posix-vars failed for MIPS32 toolchain

[abhijitsahu]

Following below steps for cross-compilation for mips32 toolchain.

Step-1:
touch config.site
gedit config.site
Add below two line:
ac_cv_file__dev_ptmx=no
ac_cv_file__dev_ptc=no
Step-2:
CONFIG_SITE=config.site CC=mipsel-linux-gcc CXX=mipsel-linux-g++ AR=mipsel-linux-ar RANLIB=mipsel-linux-ranlib ./configure --host=mipsel-linux --build=mipsel-linux-gnu --prefix=/home/work_bench/PYTHON/Test-01/Python-3.9.1/my_build --disable-ipv6 --with-openssl=/home/work_bench/ssl/openssl-1.0.2o CPPFLAGS=-L/home/work_bench/ssl/libs CPPFLAGS=-I/home/work_bench/ssl/openssl-1.0.2o/ssl CPPFLAGS=-L/home/work_bench/ssl/openssl-1.0.2o
Step-3:
make HOSTPYTHON=./hostpython HOSTPGEN=./Parser/hostpgen BLDSHARED="mipsel-linux-gcc -shared" CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-linux- CROSS_COMPILE_TARGET=yes HOSTARCH=mipsel-linux BUILDARCH=mipsel-linux-gnu

Compilation Issue:

Compilation breaks with below error. But compilation works fine for gcc in PC(Ubuntu 18.04).
Could you please suggests?
