Am having difficulty with importing tkinter following cross-compiling Python from source.

My build environment:

GCC 4.7
uClibc 0.9.33
buildroot
Python 3.4
Tcl/Tk 8.6
target platform=ARM

The symptoms are as follows:

>>> import _tkinter
...
# trying /usr/lib/python3.4/lib-dynload/_tkinter.cpython-34m.so

It appears to be an issue with FontConfig.  If I recompile Tk with --disable-xft, tkinter works correctly but with the legacy method of font selection and rendering.

When compiled with --enable-xft (default), Tk demo programs work correctly, but I cannot import tkinter.

I believe that there is a link issue with _tkinter.cpython-34m.so, but have not identified anything despite intense research.

Any suggestions? 

Many thanks.
