  not sure if this is the right list for this, but it's a starting
point.  i'm using a wind river linux development environment to build
a full system for a powerpc board, and that includes cross-compiling
python-2.5.1 for ppc.  the compile fails thusly:

powerpc-wrs-linux-gnu-ppc_e500v2-glibc_std-gcc -shared
Modules/unicodedata.o   -o Modules/unicodedata.so
Modules/unicodedata.o: file not recognized: File truncated

  you can see that the file Modules/unicodedata.o is flagged as not
recognized.  in fact, it exists but is empty.  i'm going to continue
digging around but i'm open to suggestions.  i also have the full 1700
lines of output from the beginning of the cross-compile if anyone
wants to see it.  thanks, and is there a more appropriate place to ask
this?
