Python-2.6 doesn't build on MIPS (mips32 little-endian) due to KeyError in the libffi arch table: config.status: linking /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.6.2/work/Python-2.6.2/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/include/ffi_common.h to include/ffi_common.h config.status: executing depfiles commands config.status: executing include commands config.status: executing src commands Traceback (most recent call last): File "./setup.py", line 1921, in <module> main() File "./setup.py", line 1916, in main 'Lib/smtpd.py'] File "/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.6.2/work/Python-2.6.2/Lib/distutils/core.py", line 152, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.6.2/work/Python-2.6.2/Lib/distutils/dist.py", line 975, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.6.2/work/Python-2.6.2/Lib/distutils/dist.py", line 995, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.6.2/work/Python-2.6.2/Lib/distutils/command/build.py", line 134, in run self.run_command(cmd_name) File "/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.6.2/work/Python-2.6.2/Lib/distutils/cmd.py", line 333, in run_command self.distribution.run_command(command) File "/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.6.2/work/Python-2.6.2/Lib/distutils/dist.py", line 995, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.6.2/work/Python-2.6.2/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py", line 345, in run self.build_extensions() File "./setup.py", line 214, in build_extensions build_ext.build_extensions(self) File "/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.6.2/work/Python-2.6.2/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py", line 471, in build_extensions self.build_extension(ext) File "./setup.py", line 248, in build_extension if not self.configure_ctypes(ext): File "./setup.py", line 1725, in configure_ctypes execfile(ffi_configfile, globals(), fficonfig) File "build/temp.linux-mips-2.6/libffi/fficonfig.py", line 32, in <module> ffi_sources += ffi_platforms['MIPS'] KeyError: 'MIPS' make: *** [sharedmods] Error 1 Fixed it by copying the "MIPS_LINUX" key for plain "MIPS".
