+Subject: [PATCH] configure: Add --with-python-install-dir
+
+Cross-compiling the python bindings is a bit difficult today, as the
+configure script will figure out the site packages dir
+(PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES) by either:
+
+- Generating the path to the site-package target directories using
+  libdir, and see if it exists. As it is not possible to point to the
+  full path of the sysroot, since that will yield the wrong install
+  path, and that the directory does not neccessarily exist on the host,
+  this approach will not work.
+
+- Fetch the site packages dir from the python interpreter as pointed to
+  by --with-python. Since this python interpreter will point to the
+  sysroot, the install dir generated will be inside the sysroot and thus
+  not work.
+
+This patch approaches the problem by adding the possibility of
+explicitly stating the install dir of the python packages, leaving it up
+to the cross-compilation environment to specify it. The patch does not
+affect the default case (non-cross compilation).
