dev-lang/python/files/python-2.7.3-cross-distutils.patch

Extensions should be installed to the targets libdir. This is important if e.g. host
has a 64bit /usr/lib64, but the target is 32bit and has $ROOT/usr/lib. Make sure we
respect the target's lib structure by getting the libdir name from Makefile.
