Comment 3 for bug 873007

This only happens when cross compiling for 32 bit on 64 bit host system. There's a good explanation of the issue here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/selinux/msg03546.html

This basically means that the python-dev packages should be packaged architecture dependent for multi-arch support. However I am quite sure the ubuntu python maintainers would have figured this on their own, so I am curious myself what is the potential fix for this issue.
