multiprocessing doesn't cross-compile properly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I was trying to cross-compile for powerpc and I came across an issue with
cross-compilation.

Now, a few things...

- The Makefile has `python' hardcoded into it instead of using $(RUNPYTHON).
- RUNPYTHON != PYTHON in all cases, so the assumption at the top of the
file is most likely wrong :(.
- The Makefile isn't passing in -I, -l, and -L for include directories and
lib dirs and libraries.

This issue may exist upstream too.

I'll submit a version of the Makefile which does properly cross-compile,
regardless of the consequences with broken sem_open functionality.

I did some more inspection and it turns out that the new configure script 
imported
from upstream fixes this issue to some degree. I had to add an environment 
variable
to setup.py for it to pick up my configure arguments.
