I'm curious as to what value there would be in adding support for cross building an OS X variant of Python on Linux.  It seems to me that such an animal would be fragile and incomplete at best. For example, normal Python builds on OS X normally require certain OS X frameworks outside of those included with the compiler.  It's difficult enough to support native builds on a wide range of OS X releases and hardware configurations.  Why would we want to officially support this particular variant of cross building on another platform?
